I have one here (RC410R), stored on behalf of my radio club. The set is ex the RMS Queen Mary and was subsequently part of an operational amateur radio exhibit at Bletchley Park. A very interesting and unusual design.
"Epic" would probably apply to the task of getting it back to working order as one of the synth boards is on SRBP and has warped badly due to heat. And also to the amount of detail in the service manual, right down to component level and taking up 4" of shelf space.
Not so much a job for a rainy day, as for an entire monsoon season. I suspect that restoring a BRT 400 would be a doddle in comparison...
