Hey Tom,
Long time no post!!!
I had a RAO (oh my back) 7 a few years ago. Need a lot of work and gave to a friend. Designed to drive fones so the output stage is a bit wimpy to drive a 600 ohm spkr. The military was concerned abt rf radiation from the local osc and being tracked down by DF equipment so the rf amp was added to cut down on the radiation. Plus that stinken heavy steel cabinet. Still have a few sliding catacomb sets NC-81, NC-100X and a NC-200. I'm getting to the place I can't pick those heavy sets up anymore. The HRO's are nice as everything is separate, p/s, spkr, coils so the set it self is pretty manageable for me. The SW-3's are even better there only abt 10#s.
Hope all is well in Clayton. Didn't see you when you might have been up in my neck of the woods a couples of weeks ago.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
