Mmm, just mentioning RACAL reminds me of (what was) my RA6790/GM.
Sadly I had to sell it to pay the mortgage a couple of years ago, plus I
felt kinda guilty having such a great receiver but not having much time
to use it.
Its CPU is a Mostek F8 as I recall, at least on the earlier ones (and
mine).

Speaking of Racal, I still have a Technical Manual for a model 9521
'Computing Counter'; is there a group/forum/site out there somewhere that
would be interested (if it isn't already out there)?
