[Racal] Airmec receiver

[Robert Nickels]

It's a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone on this list might have a 
deep collection of Racal manuals...

I've just acquired a rare bird - a late 1950s vintage Airmec C-864 
receiver, the only model built by Airmec which was mainly known for test 
equipment.   According to an article in Radio Bygones, the company was 
acquired by Racal shortly after the receiver hit the market, and having 
already developed the more advanced RA-17, Racal dropped it with only a 
few hundred sold.   The author actually learned of this odd receiver 
after finding the original Airmec manual inside a Racal cover, something 
most likely done to help sell off the residual inventory.

I'd be appreciative of any additional information about the model C.864 
receiver made by Airmec Limited, High Wycombe, Bucks.
