I finally finished my RCA 18T ! I REALLY HATE rubber covered wire. This was one of the worst radios I have worked on. Lots of crowded wiring around the tube sockets. RCA's documentation is not nearly as helpful as Philco's. I'm just glad it's over. It did turn out pretty well, if I do say so myself. It receives well on all 3 bands. All the push buttons work fine. I set them to AM stations I listen to this evening. This one was not fun, it was more like Purgatory.
