[Milsurplus] BC-342N is "on-line".

[Philip Atchley]

Hi,
Just a little while ago I completed the preliminary alignment/calibration of
the BC-342N.  The bands were already pretty close, setting the upper band
limits per the manuals alignment instructions the dial was accurate within
10KC across the bands, most of the time within 5KC.  Not bad for a 61 year
old (1943 contract) analog receiver!

Anyway, I ensconced it in one of the SWLing positions, sans cabinet to run
it for a few days to see if anything changes or needs further attention.  I
"usually" do a COMPLETE recap replacing all electrolytics and paper/oil caps
etc.  However, this time there are a couple "harder to get to" bathtubs that
I didn't replace, primarily to keep from tugging and pulling on 61 year old
wires etc too much.  It doesn't "appear" to be a problem as the set is
purring along happily with no crackles or noise typical of failing
components.
