[Boatanchors] Free to a Good Home

[Richard Knoppow]

    Well, I got the answers to both questions on your web site.
    I think this is not a European version but one made for 
aeronautical use, similar to the military BC-779 The two lowest 
bands, which cover the broadcast band, are replaced by two bands 
covering 100-200Khz and 200-400Khz, used mostly for aircraft 
communication in the past. This was a standard model. If its 
actually a BC-779 it may have a "universal" power supply which 
will work at 25Hz to 60Hz and is very heavy. The BC-779 was 
painted gray rather than having a black crinkle panel.
    These are very good receivers with some care. The temperature 
drift can be eliminated by adding a TC cap across the tuning cap 
as was done in the SP-400 series.
