[Milsurplus] BC-455-B Modification

[J. Forster]

Seems like a long way to move a receiver's frequency.

Was it likely just a coil turns change, or were plates likely stripped of
the tuning cap also? I've not opened it up to take a look.

Anybody know if the mod worked at all well?

If anybody fancies it for $25 plus postage, please drop me a note, off-list.

Best,

-John
