Had a couple of these back in the day and wouldn't mind reliving my wasted youth LOL.
Let me know what you have with condition, operation and pics.
Cheers
 

Cabover I did see that one thanks.
I remember mine having the orange display like the button back lights.
I will look for a more original one.
Thanks for the info though
Cheers Renegade 525
 
The RCI 2900, also sold as the Galaxy Uranus.
I have not seen a 2900 for 20 years or more, they did not make many of them, and they were a real bitch to work on.
At the end Ranger started replacing them with the 2950 when it came out.
Very rare radio.
Good luck in your search.

I have a rvi 2900, but the orange backlight has went out. 6 pin has been changed over to a 4 pin, and a varible wattage knob has been installed in the back of the radio. I got about $150 in it

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
