Salve ho acquistato questo BC 348 ma purtroppo noto un'assenza di segnale pur sentendo il fruscio della radio frequenza .
Solo se appoggio il filo d'antenna sulla griglia della VT70 o della VT86 ascolto l'emittente ( sulla 86 il volume e' decisamente piu forte) , il fatto e' che riesco ad ascoltare solo una stazione , pur ruotando la manopola di sintonia .
Mi vien da pensare a un guasto allo stadio Convertitore . Vorrei avere altri pareri in merito
Saluti Gabriele
