Although I've been a ham since (good grief!) 1957, I've never owned a
BC-348.

I found a bargain on ebay and picked up a BC-348R just to see (hear) what
the WWII Air Corps operators used.

I downloaded the tech manual T.O. 12R2-3BC-112 and was appalled by the
schematic. Not only is it small scale, but it uses 1920s-style symbols and
drafting conventions. The bandswitch diagram, in particular, looks like a
spaghetti factory after an explosion.

Does anybody know whether a print is available that is easier to decipher.
The scale isn't too important so long as it is clear enough to enlarge.

 

The unit I bought had neither a dynamotor nor power supply. Does anyone have
a suitable (220 v B plus at 70 mils) power supply or transformer for sale?
Fair Radio's transformer prices are beyond belief, and most of the stuff on
the internet either has no specs at all or way too much voltage.
