I restored one of those a couple years ago for a customer.. They are very sensitive for a radio of that era. In fact, it rivals the modern radios. I cranked the generator  down to -130Dbm and still had a signal. The regenerative detector is interesting too.

It's a BEAST!

I'm selling my RBB and RBC receivers and power supply.

Here are some videos I shot tonight showing them "In action".




Couldn't find an CW on 80M..... but I've used it a lot on 80 CW in the winter months.

I've used these radios for several years and it's time to find them a new home.

Price is $180 for all 3 units.

Pick up only.   Will have them at the Berryville VA hamfest on Sunday Aug 2nd.

All three units are sold as is.  They work well enough for casual enjoyment on CW, SSB, and SWL, but I'm not sure everything is 100% functional according to spec.

Reason for selling:   I have an early model all black RBB and and early model all black RBC that will be taking their place.
