[Milsurplus] [Boatanchors] BC-348 E-M-P

Me too. I replaced the APC that was busted in mine, a P model if I remember correctly, with another of about the same range of capacitance. These don't have to be exact as they are trimmers and just need to be able to do just that. The hard part was getting to the cap as it was in one of the "boxes". Removing the box was no problem, but inside the box everything is "close quarters".Also, the P I had suffered from main tunig cap backlash which I was able to make better but never cure.
 Good luck! But worth the trouble as these are fine receivers. ( I still have 3!).
