[Milsurplus] BC-312 I.F. can note

[Hubert Miller]

In identifying this lone unused "1st I.F. TRANS. " i have here, as being for the BC-312, i noticed inside it a 60K resistor, R38, across the primary of L29.
The manual describes this resistor as "broadens band width".  I have never seen any article on this receiver which mentions removing this resistor,
but it looks like it could be done. There is not much room, and i did not do this, but it looks like with careful application of a long longnose plier,
you could flex the resistor leads until they break. Might be a simple change to get a little more usable selectivity on AM.

This resistor R38 is shown in the IF schematic pages 42, 43 of TM 11-4001 available at Radionerds.com site.

If someone wants to try this, i will mail this unused IF can for price of postage.

  1.  You must include your mailing address with first response.
  2.  Read #1 again.
  3.  Pay postage when you receive item. Pay via green money or Paypal only. Do not pay me $4.11 ( for example ); round it off to the next whole dollar.
Okay?
