There is/was an original military AC power supply for the BC-221s AND for 
the LM. The LM AC supplies are more common than those for the '221.

I have only ever seen only one of those for the BC-221.

One of the BC-221s I have here had a home-brew power supply which had a 
tranformer in it capable of powering at least a 100 watt transmitter. I removed 
the power supply and built a "more reasonable" one.
