By the way, the tube is a four pin..
Thanks.. "HeavyMetal" wrote in message ... I acquired a BC-348 receiver. The receiver did play. But stopped. It has a 110 volt mod. I replaced the caps but the rectifier tube is shorted. The tube is a Raytheon glass tube with shoulders. Ther is no tube mumber on it except '280' and 026' on thebottom next tot he name. Anyone have an idea of what tube they used for the mod? Thanks.. |

IIRC the 2 in the 280 designation indicates the manufacturer. 73, Roger -- Remove tilde (~) in e-mail address to reply Remember the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) http://ussliberty.org/ |
