[ARC5] BC-348 Dynomotor

Ken,

Ah yes, the name rings a bell. I've saved Mike's information this time.

I agree. Mike is a great source of information for the history and restoration of these fine radios.

Happy New Year to you, Mike and all.

Yes....well...at least I can provide the maker: Mobil...100?, something like 
that. It is red, comes in a big tube. Oh! It is Mobillith SHC 100!  I have a tube. 
It was cheap.

If you REALLY want to know the exact stuff, visit Mike Hanz' website and 
check out his rebuild of dynamotors, here:

Take a look at the absolutely horrible wreck of a dynamotor he rebuilt. I 
would have consigned the thing to the garbage heap. It was nothing but a 
rusted piece of crap. But he turned it into what LOOKS like a new one.

I think Mikey is one hell of a genius.
