Bruce.

Thanks for reminding me about Philco. Easy to forget sometimes how, as you say, they were often interconnected for production of a particular item, and also that production of many items was either done at more than one company at the same time, or alternatively shifted completly from one company to another over time.

Cheers, David

My 1943 RCAF "WIRELESS MECHANICS/WIRELESS OPERATORS" Students' Handbook contains a brief reference to the GR17 (AR88) - (10D/5479) General Purpose Ground Station Receiver (RCA). There are no schematics but it lists the number and quantity of valves as well as all the chokes and filters and their location in a plan view of the set. There are some maintenance tips but no mention of any lubricant used. If you wish I can scan and email you what info is included on your set.

CHIMO!
