[MRCA] BC-348 receivers on Ebay

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

I used to be a member of the Suffolk County Radio Club in the 1970's. We could sell some goods at the meeting. I used to see unmolested BC-348s for $10. I was, and still am, into solid state so I passed. I probably would have made it solid state anyway.

Prices would be OK if one knew the actual condition, e.g.: recap or not, etc.. The J, N, and Q models seem to bear up better that the others and tubes for them are a bit easier to find. I see but one DM-28 dynamotor listed. If I'd only known back in 1959!! I still use two '348s here and both exhibit 1uv sensitivity on the lower bands. I have little success in using them on the LF bands, however. QRM crud devastating. Anyway... just a thought. Did any one in this area go to Howard County (MD) fest yesterday?
