[ARC5] BC-221-J vs BC-221-T or what?

[Commtekman at aol.com]

Hello,
I follow your forum and thought I would mention that I do have  a TM on 
BC-221 sets, not
sure which one it was written for, I could probably find it if  it would 
help someone. I have
two BC-221, I think one is in a canvas case, both are in  storage and I am 
going over
there tomorrow.

Somewhere I found a military TM that covers all of the  BC-221 meters. 
Noton BAMA and I can't find it. It may help because at least it  would tell you 
what differences are between them.  I have a BC-221, a  late one with 
factory power supply. I have to look to see which version it  is.  Its in a wooden 
case which makes setting the crystal calibrator  difficult since it drifts 
a little with temperature and I don't want to drill  a hole in the case. It 
is quite accurate once warmed up.

I guess the time has come  for me to keep one of these in the shack. I have 
had literally dozens of  them go through my hands over the years. Now I 
have two here and one of them  is going to stay. But which one? The J model is 
in lesser condition. The T  model is almost like new. Both have AC supplies 
in them--the one in the T  model might be a factory supply. The one in the J 
model is almost certainly  homebrew. Both have the spare tubes and hex 
wrench where they ought to be.  Both have the correct calibration books. Both 
were made by  Zenith. 


Is there any reason to  prefer one over the other except overall condition? 
I have not tested them  yet. But it does not seem like they would be hard 
to get running. Is there  an achilles heel in them that I should check?


Any suggestions welcome.
