[MRCA] BC-654 Question

[mkdorney at aol.com]

Hello Everybody,
       I'm restoring a BC-654 that looks like it's been modified, but I'm not sure who did the work.  The standard antenna and ground wire insulated connectors have been very neatly removed from the radio, and the antenna connector now accepts coaxial cable ( the ground connector was neatly cut off and ground smooth).  The set has inspection stampings from 1945.  The work looks neat enough to have been done at depot.  Does anybody know of the BC-654 being modified very late in World War Two, or maybe perhaps for Korea in this fashion?  I want to find out before I start the impossible task of looking for the original connectors.  Thanks.
