[Racal] RA-17 2'nd VFO parts needed

[Rodger Singley]

Greetings listmembers,

I have just added my first Racal (an RA-17 series unit) to my collection of
boatanchors.  I think that once I get a few issues resolved it will be a
very nice receiver.  However, currently it is a 1 (or should I say 30)
frequency receiver...  The 2'nd VFO is missing the drive gear (and perhaps
other components) between the front of the capacitor and the vertical worm
which goes from the tuning knob to the film drive.  So currently, when the
tuning is changed the film dial moves but of course the capacitor remains in
place.

I am hoping to find a source for this part or parts.  I have already emailed
Colomor to see if they have the missing parts or better yet, a complete 2'nd
VFO assembly.  However, if anyone on the list has this part (or parts) or a
parts unit with an intact 2'nd VFO drive they would like to sell I would
appreciate it if you would contact me.

Regards,
Rodger WQ9E
