[Milsurplus] BC-348

Chris -

Many moons ago as I read the manual I noted that to tune up the crystal 
filter, a 200uA meter was to be placed in the cathode return line from 
the Audio volume control.   Since this is safer than the known ham 
modification, I followed that lead and placed a shunted plastic Radio 
Shack 50uA meter in the circuit (the plastic cracked and warped with 
age).  This was replaced on this rebuild with a metal case Honeywell 
100uA meter with a new shunt.

The black wrinkle paint is Plasti Kote 217V .  I had initially purchased 
VHT DP201 paint, while reading the directions found that curing in a 
200deg environment for 20 min was required.  I had no access to an 
electric oven so had to go with the Plasti Kote 217V paint.
