Greetings,

Anyone near Boston interested in a working RBM-5 AKA CAY-46077-A  Serial number 7 !!!  I'm sure the low serail number makes it priceless! Comes with power connector and short power cable.  I could meet/deliver to you for $125 and for another $25 you could have a HB power supply that works with it.
Not really interested in shipping it as I expect freight would be about $50 or more and propper packing another $15-$25.  Average to good condition.  Some scratches but no serious physical dammage.  

Eddystone 830/7 was my bedside radio last year or two.  Power fuse blew and I don't have the time to work on it right now.  Might be simple repair who knows!?! Comes with the factory cabinet and an aftermarket service manual.  Previous owner had done quite a bit of restoration work and most of the old caps have been replaced.  Some fading on the dial but otherwise in good shape.  Local sale $125.00 and thats a lot less than I have into it.  The service manual alone went for over $40.00!  Fix it and sell it for 2-3 times your money or fix it and use it, just get it out of my shack and I'll feel less guilty about not doing it myself each time I look at it.  In the UK These ususlly go for 300-500 Pounds Sterling!!! Crating and shipping this one would probably cost at least 2/3 of what I'm looking to get so a local sale prefered here as well 

All proceeds promised to go to another radio toy.
