It’s similar to that one just a shame I can’t share the radio I’m looking for . It was a brilliant little radio for me but I traded it for a mint fidelity 2000 (cybernet board) and its box and mic. Wish I hadn’t now as that Europasonic 3 was brilliant

That’s the one Dave . I’d love one of those again. It was a brilliant little set
Here's the Moonraker minor that I mentioned before

Obviously the same chassis , there are newer moonraker minors I thought you meant too. More like a mason chassis by the look of them from the early 90s

I think the “newer” minor had a different front and no signal meter, not even lights like the 77-104 or Europasonic iii

That's correct it's usually found on eBay.
The word minor has been used 5 time's I think.

My Spirit 40 will be up for grabs on ebay soon (the recently-sold untested one didn't go for very much) , along with a few other rarer ones.. Megatracker 1100, seven EMS Mercury 1040 radios, Eurocomm 40, Euro DX40, a black-fronted Catswhiskers, Mk3 148 GTL-DX and a couple of others ;)

The Europasonic radio mentioned looks like the old Colt 355 uk 27/81 radio. Quite hard to find a good one.

I don’t suppose you have a realistic TRC 2001 surplus to requirements??. Asking for a friend 😁
