BC-348? info needed

[Ed Tanton]

Hi Ron... it's pretty easy to distinguish between the BC-348-Q & the
BC-348-R. Their tube complements differ sufficiently to let you know pretty
quickly: See lists below:

 *** Note: * indicates a metal tube with a Plate Cap ***

Function   BC-348-R             BC-348-Q
1st RF       6K7*                     6SK7
