Well, Hello Anton.
I am the moderator of the HAM_SALE echo, and the rules are quite simple.
The HAM_SALE echo is for the posting of messages relating to the SALE or
TRADE of HAM radio equipment.
No commercial posts,
Play nice,
No cross posting to any other net, including usenet, etc, without prior
permission.
And the Moderator has final say, no argueing.
If anyone would like to discuss these rules, Netmail at the below address,
or e-mail at bbowers@townsqr.com
We like to keep them simple, easier for everyone that way.
A few echos for talking about HAM radio include AMATEUR_RADIO, HAM, and

Hello David,
When the 840 goes, I'll meet your asking price on the tuner.
I'll have my agent pick it up at your door, all you need to do is
have it packed (preferrably in the OEM box), but other box is OK as
long as it's padded and well sealed.  If you have the user manual
and any related accessories, please include them in the same box.

I remember seeing those somewhere around the '60s.  Who made that puppy,
Regency?  (There should be a plate/tag/something saying who actually built
it - sears never made anything for themselves.)  Are you competent to open
it up and look at the foil side of the BC board?  It should say there,
etched into the foil.  Then write a letter to whoever made it.  With a LOT
of luck, you MIGHT be able to get a manual for it.
Good luck in your search!
Happy Scanning.
