[Boatanchors] BC-348 Question

[Joe Connor]

Scott, I'm providing the links for several very good BC-348 pages. The first is very thorough on both the receiver and the dynamotor. The second has high-quality scans of the manuals.

I believe that the Micamolds are the troublesome caps.

 I am thinking of tackling a restoration of my BC-348 and have a few questions.  It looks like brand new, unmolested as far as i can tell, with dynamotor still installed.  I’ll pull it off the shelf and find out which version.  Memory says its a “Q”. I bought it maybe 10-15 years ago and it’s sat on the shelf collecting dust.

I’ve seen some posts over the years where guys recommend recapping the coupling caps right out of the chute.  While I’ve read that the Micamold caps are a must, what about non-Micamold caps?  

I’d like to restore the dynamotor as well and run it from that.  I’ve seem a couple of nice DM-28 restoration videos on Youtube so that seems straight forward.  

I’d appreciate hearing some advice.  Thanks. 73, Scott WA9WFA
