[Milsurplus] ARR-41

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

All,
The tech school I attended in the late '70's in Denver had a BC-348-Q 
in the lab with a government installed AC supply.We used it for WWV 
frequency standard for the lab.The school is gone now.My favorite 
teacher was a Navy swab that worked in a cal lab.His favorite 
instrument was the LM (which we also had in the lab,and he made sure we 
all learned how to use it!And it too had a mil p.s. ) My "daily driver" 
is a BC-348-C-(S) I purchased from the school for 20 bucks. Thanks to 
the devoted on this and other lists,that radio looks pretty good,no 
extra holes, case,proper connector,dial light dimmer,shock mount,etc 
and an AC p.s. that I built from the bottom feeding I do at swaps.
  If a guy in a mil repair shop can't build something from parts on hand 
and make it look like the government contracted for it, then he needs 
to go back to school!

Robert: I have a copy of the Signal Corps
instructions for converting the BC-348 to AC power,
as well as one of the supplies, buried somewhere in the great
junk piles. There are depths of stupidity that only government
can reach....
