Had a successful trip to NEAR-Fest up in NH a week or so back, managed
t haul home among other things, a nice RBO that a list member had
offered here. I was hoping he'd sell it before the 'fest to save me
from myself, now I'm really glad he didn't.
The only thing it needs right now of any importance (aside from an
original manual) is the two covers or plates that go over the rack
mount holes, and the 8 knurled screws that hold them on. I'm not sure
what they're called, but you can see them here:

Paint condition isn't important, so long as the metal is straight and
in good shape along with the screws. These plates were used on a
number of Navy receivers in the SLR line, also the RCH and RBO
receivers. The antenna connector has been changed also, but I'll worry
about that later.
And since I don't have the manual (yet), I'm curious to know what
speaker it should be paired up with. It's currently driving a
Hallicrafters R-42 and sounds great.
