WAS a factory dealer for these back in the 80s,we were told to return EVERY radio back to them,but a few slipped out,I remember the Am mode was great,but SSB was all screwed up right out of the box,the fixes were numerous for SSB,glad a few survived,it was not long after the first generation of 2950 came out...GALAXY67

Best bet would be to send him a PM, if you click on his name you will see it was last year when he was last on the forum. Since this post is 8 years old in todays’s market that’s probably a $600 radio now. Good luck.
That model is rare because it sucked, and folks found out. The 2950 model is (they say) the revised 2900 after they took the advice of Bill Good about the 2900 model's shortcomings. Just how much Bill's contribution helped make the 2950 a multi-decade success for RCI is hard to tell.
Probably worth more for its "rare" factor than it is as a radio.

The Galaxy Uranus was the butt of a lot of jokes.
The 2900 really were plagued with problems , a few of the early ones got repaired then the plug got pulled and RCI wanted them back.
I wondered what the whole deal was because just as these went away the Sommerkamp DX 2000, and the RCI 2950 came to be.
I think that was the about the end of the line for the two guys that imported the galaxy planet line and Ranger took off with there own endeavors.

I remember when RCI went to see Bill Good.
There were pictures of Jim Peng and Bill Good with them on the old forum many years ago.
I think they did use some of his ideas on the dx models.

I'd never heard of this beast, it's probably a good thing according to this thread.
