[Milsurplus] BC-1000 The Fun begins

[roy wildermuth]

The BC-1000 is a perfectly awful radio to work on. Reminds me of a cross
between an SX-28 and a Philco Cathedral that has been left in the sun.
LOTS-O-WAX and CRAMPED QUARTERS ! (Shouting Intentional as I take a coffee
break from taking on this. )
