I have an RCA BTA250L, still in working condition, taken out of service as an AUX transmitter around 2000.
Make offer.
You pick it up. Located in WNY. I was going to give this girl a permanent home when I moved into a permanent place but TBH, it just doesn't fit my Victorian decor. Such is life.

"Make an offer."
I am not looking to make a fortune but wouldn't mind getting a few cents for it. ;) I have some expenses I need to take care of.

Victorian decor, you say....Im a fan of Victorian style houses, actually I prefer early Gothic/cathedral style but you get the pic. But alas, I live in this modern era prison, no elegance. Which is why I picked up some rather unique art work. Oh and remodeling the bath was nice as well. Its kinda lighthouse tile style.
Oops, you got me in a rant. :lol: Oh god, I am talking decor. :doh:

You will regret selling that beauty, Kelli. Don't do it.
Hide it behind a wall screen. May I suggest Prairie Gothic...

Just reading the spec sheet.
Man, that's a lot of hardware for 250 watts.

I don't really want to sell it, but...
Nice designs. I love Celtic myself, but that doesn't really match the decor in here either. I'm giving away most of my Celtic tapestries.
The house was built in 1897. When it was built is was the largest house in the village we live in and it was built for a college professor and his family. We are the third owners of the house in 112 years. The family we bought it from bought it in 1951 and it hasn't been renovated since then, although everything is in excellent condition. All the floors are hardwood and they are not even uneven. Smooth as glass. There are still capped off gas pipes underneath the electric lighting fixtures. It has a LOT of character.
It has a huge wraparound porch with curved wood railings 10 inches wide. We were looking for houses and I saw this one and instantly fell in love with it. Anyway, aside from the basement, I have no idea where I would put this transmitter. No way could I get it up to the third floor, which is mostly finished off, was a fifth bedroom -- actually it has several open rooms -- but we use it as a music room and a playroom for the kids. It won't fit here in my 7x7 office which is located behind my kitchen. Dani won't want it in the library, I don't want it in the parlor... It won't fit in the sitting room... Gah! I just don't know. I guess I'd have to build an addition for it :P

Just a thought, the Raytheon RA-250 features styling and colors that might work in your home? If you're really interested in having an AM BC transmitter.
