Default FS: Receiver, US Army BC-342-M

For Sale: $150.00 for all items below.
I will not ship, you pick up in San Antonio, Tx.
Receiver weighs about 70 pounds.

1.Signal Corps US Army
Radio Receiver BC-342-M, SN 397
RCA Manufacturing Co.
Camden, N.J.

2. Original, not a photocopy:
War Department Technical Manual TM 11-4001
Repair Instructions for BC-312 and BC-342 Receivers
War Department, February 1945

3. Photocopy of Operation Manual and additional
notes with schematic diagrams.

The receiver is the 120v (not dc dynamotor) type
and works properly. Some modifications were made
but they are of the gain improvement variety (replacing
cathode resistors and such). Modifications are documented.
Includes control cable CD-566, 2 mounting brackets, and
original schematic on metal plate that was originally
mounted inside the receiver.

Receive frequency is 1.5 to 18mc (MHz for you young troops),
and includes a crystal filter. The unit requires an external
speaker and 2-prong power cord. Use of a 2-prong power cord
causes 30-volts to appear between chassis and 3rd wire neutral.
I suspect there are leaky power supply capacitors.
