Kirk's R-18-W RCA
#14

Kirk says it is a GE though it is RCA. Go figure them relabellers.
Thank to Greg I have a good readable sch, that helped a bit.
I finished recapping, fixed faulty wiring.....the AC/DC switch did not wirk, had to short it.
Also power switch did not work, and the potentiometer is weird, no tabs but a flange all around that hokds it. Ling story short when I opened it the rheostat fell out in pieces. Found a Philco pot clise enough. Though it is a bit deeper - was touching the 38 tube so had to bend some leads.

Anyways, I powered it up and it receives across the dial. Tomorrow will attempt alignment, as usual no dial, will have to guess the frequencies or use the local station.
Took me 3 evenings, maybe 7 hrs altogether.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
