[ARC5] BC-375 / BC-191 Owners:

[James M. Walker]

Nope,
My BC-375A sits on a table "Now" in the basement "Shack"!
Along with a wooden shelf for the tuning units, the Dynamotor
is in a water-proof box, in case I get crazy and want to take
the units out for Field-Day! My TU-26 unit is in place and I
am anxious to try it out on 500KC with the BC-306 LF tuner.

Oh and just to stay on topic, I also have Lots of 211 tubes,
Not for sale to Audio-Phools, gotta have a 191/375 or "I
can't help ya, Buddy"! Those folks are strange!
