[Milsurplus] Strong Stomach Needed.

[Michael Tauson]

My BC-348-Q has an SO-239 on the front, a modification done by the
Navy for whatever reason.  It also came sans dynamotor.  Aside from
the latter, it is as it came out of Navy overhaul in 1952.  According
to the established rules, the Navy modified it away from its original
specifications and my wanting to replace the missing dynamotor is
further compounding the infraction.  It is therefore not worth the
metal it's made of as far as being an authentic piece of equipment is
concerned.

Or is it?  It can't be both ways, folks.  It's either trash as the
existing rules stated by John & Mike claim, or the work done on it
hasn't and won't alter its value as original.  If it's the latter,
that opens a whole Pandora's Box of what qualifies as original,
restored and converted.

This could get interesting.  :-D
