My RCA 18T
#10

RCA's documentation was among the best of any radio manufacturer until about 1937-38 when they started cutting back on info. The T7-5 (1936) I restored some months back and the 6T2 (1937) I'm currently working on have several pages of documentation. But, having Doug Houston's RCA Red Books, I can see that the later RCA models have considerably less documentation.

Good work on that 18T. Icon_thumbup

And Brad, you may be in for a surprise with your 39-3116. I have some Canadian Philcos made after 1938, and each one I have worked on has had mostly cloth-covered wiring - unlike their USA counterparts. You will run into some rubber-covered wiring. But I think you will find that most of it is cloth-covered.
