Hi Electroking...Yes my good friend in Hawaii has a unrestored Racal receiver. I remember asking about it as I had never heard the name. I'm not sure which one it is but I remember it looking similar to the Collins 388/URR I'm buying. I didn't hear it in action but I do remember him telling me that it is right up there with the best in what he collects.It must be nice as he only collects the best of the boatanchors.
