[Boatanchors] Bc-348 volume control

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Bob (and anyone else with a need),

If cleaning as suggested doesn't return the installed dual pot to service, 
I have a good stock of NOSB replacements.  Probably Postwar production.  Fit 
all BC-224 and BC-348 models from -B on.  Will work in BC-224-A.  $8.00 
plus shipping.  Comes with mounting hardware (nut and washer), but without 
knob.
