Much to my surprise, the BC-348R I bought off eBay arrived today, well packed and 
undamaged. It looks as though it could be dropped into the mount and fired up.

Cursory examination reveals no ham-hacks visible. It smells as though it has been stored for 
a very long time.

I'll print off the necessary manual PDFs I have here in hopes that they will suffice to get this 
restored and operational.

When I get it operational, I'll use it to see if my memory is correct on its advantages and 
disadvantages. As I mentioned, I used it in 1957, so my memory may be....um....inaccurate.
