Part one
BC 221- J Frequency Meter Serial No 3156
Cabinet # 17024
Calibration book for MC177 – AK serial no 70
I recently attempted getting a crystal calibrator for a Wireless set 19, but the cost of postage from the US to AU was extraordinarily expensive. More than the unit itself.
Then I thought that the crystal calibrator would probably only work with the 19 set anyway, this got me to think about a BC 221 Frequency Meter I had.
I personally can not understand the naming of the unit as there is not a 'Meter' on it. So be it.
I dusted the unit off and removed the chassis, it was reasonably clean although, like most of the radio gear I have, it had been under in a flood.
Using a compressor I brushed and blew out the dried dirt.
The cabinet was hosed out and then lightly sandblasted after which a thin touch-up spray coat of crinkle black paint was applied.
