[MRCA] BC-348 Help

[Brian Roberts]

Hello Gents--

I've acquired a BC-348R and it appears to be unmolested.   It still has the 
dynamotor in it and I'd like to get it going again in its original mode of 
operation with the dynamotor.   I'd like to solicit opinions and help from 
guys who have gone down this road before as far as things that must be done, 
and any hints and kinks on how to do them.   I'm sure the dynamotor will 
have to be cleaned and lubricated for openers and that will be a new task 
for me.   Another area of concern is how much amperage will be needed to 
start and then run the set?   I've read anywhere from 8 to 50 amps!    I 
have a 10 amp 24 VDC power supply available, but I don't think that will do 
the trick to start the dynamotor.   I'm thinking about putting two 12 volt 
batteries in series to start the set, and then once the dynamotor is up to 
speed switching over to the power supply.   Again, I'd like to solicit 
comments on that idea.   Thanks.
