[Boatanchors] Setting Up a BC-348-R Receiver

[Bob]

Matt,  I think that the first thing that you have to determine is wether or 
not the set has been converted to run on AC line voltage or if it still has 
the orginal dynamotor installed which would have required 28 Volts DC. Is 
there a line cord coming from most likely the rear of the set? If so that 
would give you a clue as to the required power to run the set.
