I have some experience with repair on RM03s, but no parts. When
Software Results closed (nearly 20 years ago), in addition to having
no room for the TU78 or the 8530 (lack of suitable power in a
residential area helped steer that decision), there was no room for
the RK07s nor the RM03s. (but I did rescue the 11/750, the 8300,
several PDP-11s, and lots, lots more).
If you haven't gotten it spinning by then, I can certainly see about
casting an eye on your RM03.
