Hi Randal

I don't have any RCA Red Books, but I would guess that your Radiola 18 would have been limited to 550 to 1500 kc since that was the lower and upper limits, respectively, of the AM band in those days. Even Philco 70, 90 and 112 sets will only tune from around 540-550 kc up to around 1510 kc.
