"Well,"..he said as he pushed his glasses further up his nose and put his mechanical pencil in his pocket protector...."we're all just radio nerds around here."
I finally found a RAL-7 five years ago on Ebay. The price was low (If you don't count shipping) because it was advertised as unworking, and with no power supply. It's excellent on cw. I used to constantly search hamfests and Ebay for a Pilot Wasp or SW-3 that didn't cost an arm & leg. I'm sure a Wasp or sw-3 will fall short compared to the RAL.
What an elegant old girl she is, and perky too, for her age. One of the best boatanchors I've seen for a long time.

@G0IFI I miss her dearly. A fine piece of kit from RCA. Thank you.
