I have reluctantly decided to part with my trusty old Racal RA 17C-12. It
is in good operating condition. Cosmetic condition is good, with
all original knobs. The S-meter is not original. This is a great radio and
fun to use. The bandspread is incredible, with about nine feet of 35
mm firm scale per mHz.. This is a very heavy radio. I bought this from a
guy in England a few years ago and it was shipped to the US in a wooden
crate.

I thought I would check to see if anybody near Oklahoma City would like to
buy it and come get it before putting it on the "big board in the sky". I
would
even drive it an hour or two away to meet you, if interested.

I have a JPEG of it, if you would like to see it.

I am asking $450 for it.
