For some reason, I have always wanted a BC-652. Dunno why,
it doesn't fit into my collecting efforts (mostly aircraft
radios).
Yesterday at the Atlanta Hamfest, one jumped into my possession
at a very good price. First glance showed a hacked in AC power
supply.
Looked into it seriously today, pulled out the homebrew AC supply,
and discovered the mods to the receiver were very minimal, and
the receiver can be put back to stock configuration very easily.
The modifier did not remove any unused wires, and except for
one instance, left enough to restore the original connections.
I even had it playing for a bit this afternoon, with an external
DC supply.
Needs a couple of parts though.
First, the 12V or 24V ID plate is missing.
Second. The chassis studs for the dynamotor snap slides are
missing. (I have a dynamotor).
Anyone have a parts unit that I could buy, trade or grovel for?
Of course now, I'll be on the eye out for the rest of an SCR-506,
all couple hundred pounds of it.
Thanks
