Sure do, I gotta get my RBB back in the pink as it's developed some 
staticky noise that  probalby is capacitor breakdown.   A local ham had 
it at a hamfest and I was intrigued because I'd never seen one before 
and - lots of knobs and meters.   Guess I acted more interested than 
anyone else as nobody bought it but when I got home it was sitting in my 
driveway.   I guess he was serious about getting rid of it!     Took me 
a while to figure out the connector pins but once I got it  hooked up on 
a power supply, wow!   I still think it's the best AM BC receiver, and 
there's something about cranking that big gear driven tuning knob.   
Operating an RBB/RBC is like driving a big block V8 when everyone else 
is in four-bangers.
