I have a good working RT-84 and no charger, I am looking for a charger and/or battery eliminator. Can someone point me in the right direction or have one too get rid of?

IIRC, charger for MD-380 or MD-UV380 or DM-1701 is fine.

I tried my DM-1701 in the RT3S charger and it didn't fit.

I'm just back home. True, the tabs are different, as the battery connections.
Hence N4ORR, you need a RT-84 or DM-1701 desktop charger (or build one, using something like a cheap USB-C PCB charger module).
I just checked on AliExpress, there are desktop chargers for the 1701 around 10 euros.

Will the battery eliminator for the 1701 also work for the RT-84?

That's the same beast with a different sticker.
