>> In gathering information, John visited BBC Monitoring at Caversham,
where he operated some of their equipment.  This reminded him of his youth,
and the 'feel' of the older receivers.  Based on this, he would like to
exchange some mail with anyone that can direct him toward the purchase of:
"...an RA17 as a classic; an RA1772 or 78 on performance grounds; and
probably a 179x or 679x..." <<


Interesting.

Since John is evidently IN Great Britain, finding an RA17 and an RA1772
shouldn't be a big problem for him;
he's in the land where they were created and built. One would think that
they're all over the place!

On the other hand...  if he's willing to send back a decent RCA AR-88 that
went over there on Lend Lease,
there's probably some US owners of Racal iron who might consider a swap...
 <<grin>>


Seriously tho...  I like his receiver choices for the article; ANY Racal
fan would.
