I Downloaded all the RCA service information back when I started working on my T8-18. I have since downloaded a lot more. Get yourself some thumb drives, and build yourself a reference library for FREE.

One can down manuals but what one does not have is the sites search engine that can scan one or many publications for the key words you enter. That and individual pages can be downloaded or screen captured.

I find the site and the search engine very useful in mining for certain 20's era battery radio schematics. Stuff that never made it to Riders...

Articles from the early pioneers as well as commentary of radio in that era..

See World Radio History FAQ:
