Racal RA17 plus a vintage panadaptor type unit - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

high_vacuum_house · 1st Oct 2023, 2:12 pm

Good afternoon,

I am selling a Racal RA17 receiver in good but dusty condition. I have not looked at this receiver but it is being sold as a S/K sale. I am looking for £45 which I think is reasonable.

Also for sale is a vintage Panadaptor type unit. Unsure exactly what it is. 2 valves missing. 110V mains transformer. £8.

They are in Belper, Derbyshire, Collection only (!) We are at home most afternoons and my wife during the day so collection should not be a problem.

Many thanks,
Christopher Capener

Might be missing crystals rather than valves? They seem to be located in filter modules.

I'm definitely interested in the RA17 and delighted you managed to salvage a couple. Thank you for doing so!
I can come over to collect from Belper as long as you don't mind it being in two or three weeks. Happy to pay up-front though

Chris,

I would like the Panadaptor - Im often up and down the M1, so perhaps we can sort something out?

Good evening,
Many thanks for your interest. They are both here safely stored. I don't mind waiting a few weeks. Please PM me when you are ready and we can arrange a pick up date and time.
Many thanks,
Christopher Capener

I only the Panadaptor unit remaining now. Just seeing if Sean Williams is still interested in it.

Many thanks,
