[ARC5] BC-224E

[Joe Connor]

Here's a question: why were so many nameplates removed from military equipment? In my travels on the hamfest circuit, it seems that there's only about a 50-50 chance that a piece of equipment will still have its tag.

Then I printed it out with a photo printer on photo grade paper, glued it over a nameplate off a box for 1952 radar gear, spayed it with clear lacquer and used that.  Looks quite nice.  I have a lot of BC-348 nameplate photos if you want to try that.
