I picked one up as part of a package in order to get a radio (BC_34
that I wanted. This is 12V model (according to label on it) with contract date of 1942. Very good condition outside and is supposed to be all original and operating. Seller claimed that he last used it about a year ago. I found schematics and technical specs but would like to know more about their general reputation and if anyone still collects or uses them and what it might be worth.
PS BC-348R is like new inside and still has the 28VDC Dynamotor in it! Wahoo!
