[Boatanchors] Working RAK and RAL to be Re-Homed

[David Stinson]

Recently revived a set of WWII Navy "big beast" receivers, RAK and RAL.
They were given to me by a kind and generous list member.  Have enjoyed
bringing them back the "Land of the Living," and it's time to pass them 
along.
Have another pair to keep.  RAK/RAL aren't scarce;  lots of them 
moldering in garages and barns,
but these have been cleaned and resurrected - should be "plug and play" 
for anyone
with 180-200V DC at a hundred mills and 6.3 V for filaments. Only thing 
missing is
the Output Meter for the RAL, which should be obtainable.  Two missing knobs
have just been replaced with originals- Thank you Thank you, Ken!

These need to go to an appreciative home- not to be added to the "get 
around to it"
pile in the garage and sure as heck not in the Radio Destruction Zone 
a.k.a. "basement."
I don't want to feed the illness of the new "Vortex Joe" or add yet 
another radio to
a garage stack for grandkids to toss in the dumpster.   Didn't go to the 
trouble
to clean and fix them so they could gather dust and go to recycle;
could have done that without all the work.

I won't try to ship these.  Will try to meet some place in North East Texas
within reason.   For a boni-fide, properly-funded and serious "museum 
ship" which
would install them, I'll throw-in original interconnection cables, 
original audio cables,
the central control box and two original power supplies (I haven't 
worked on the power supplies).
Will donate those to a WWII Museum Ship.  Otherwise I'll keep those for 
my "keeper" pair.
Got a "thing" for "big beast receivers."

Have one pair available, so the first qualified and serious request will 
get them.
I'm asking "on your honor," that if you're just going to add these to your
"get around to it" pile, please let them go to someone with a more active
interest in them.
