RECEIVER RCA BC-348


Here I describe the restoration of an American receiver from the second world war (WWII), the RCA-BC348-R. The BC-348 was used in
almost all american bomber and reconnaisance aircraft together with the transmitters BC-349 or BC-375. The receiver is wellknown and
quite popular among collectors and museums.

I describe the initial condition, the restoration and the result in text and photos.
