Just means that RCA was paid for the uses of some proprietary information or circuit used it this set. Doesn't mean that RCA had any other connection w/it.
>Tube line-up is 25Z5, 43, 77, 78, 6A7
Not enough tubes to have a rf amp. 6A7 mixer/osc, 78 IF amp, 77 detector, 43 audio output, and 25Z5 rectifier. The triple gang capacitor as Arran stated is used for a double tuned ant circuit or it's not connected.
The key to finding this set is the 77 tube, that's the only unusual thing about the tube lineup. A more popular lineup would have a 75 rather than the 77. Short of that it's very common.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
