[Milsurplus] Best 348?

[Ray Fantini]

In my opinion the BC-348Q is the best of the series. Unlike most
collectors I have always tended to collect the last of a series instead
of the first, the J, N and Q appear to be the final ones in production
using more modern tubes and some improved construction techniques, and I
would assume if any were produced after the war they would have been to
the "Q" design. Before all you P and R fans start throwing a fit, I do
realize that all of the series meets the same specifications. And I am
led to understand that the Q, P and R were all in production at the same
time but I would be willing to bet $5 the Q was the last of the series
in production. Also the Q looks better with all matching knobs and no
toggle switches!
