The next set is an Etronics RA640.
I got the trader sheets from this forum but even those are a little scant on detail, apparently the chassis was also used for a radiogram known as the QGA532 which adds a little more information. It was in a bit of a sorry state when I got it, rusty chassis, case thoroughly beaten up, tuning scale cracked & tuning cord broken! I like a challenge! Oh, and both the smoothing caps are leaking like sieves despite a lengthy effort to reform them. Luckily I have access at work to some very fancy power supplies (TDK-Lambda GEN600-2.6). Still waiting for one to be scrapped off!............
Thanks for your comments, they are most welcome.
