[Premium-Rx] Good home for Racal RA1772?

I mentioned a while ago that I had a late Racal RA1772 in very nice
condition looking for a good home. A gentleman who shall remain nameless
expressed a great deal of interest, but after a protracted bout of
time-wasting seems to have decided he wasn't going to proceed. So in the
hope of avoiding an entanglement with eBay, would anyone like to give a good
home to an RA1772? 

Basically it's a late ex-RAF example (serial 205x) with 1778-style black
handles, the X filter set, preslector and AFC. It doesn't seem to have seen
much use; the internal wiring is in good shape and it's cosmetically pretty
decent with a very clean chassis and just the usual rack-scrape marks.

This particular RA1772 was acquired with a view to writing about it in the
World Radio & TV Handbook a few years ago but I ended up doing a piece about
the RA1778 instead (it's at
http://www.crew-green.com/case-studies/12-world-radio-tv-handbook if
anyone's interested). On the basis of recent eBay prices I reckon it's worth
about £450.  

Oh, and an original green military Creeth case might be available too...
