[AMRadio] RME - 45/45B Info

[BUDW2GLN at aol.com]

I have recently become the owner of a very nice looking RME 45 with  
matching speaker, the 4301 Sideband selector and the VHF 152A   Converter.....NOW:
 
After spending time on the inside cleaning and tube checking (several 7B7's 
 and a 7S7 are low or marginal It was apparent that what I have is a 45B
 
I brought the receiver up slowly (about 6 hours) with no pops or  smoke  
:-)......It had been idle for several years
The receiver has several problems among which are weak audio and the  only 
discernable signals were in the broadcast band.. In general the receiver  
works but needs work :-) The tuning system is quite accurate  when frequencies 
are feed directly into the ant (at 1 Micro volt)
 
I have several pieces of documentation from BAMA (mirror site) and a poor  
copy of a Sam's for the RME 45.
but I have found this Sam's to have several part and tube  location errors 
and does not show the "45 B".
 
I need some HELP :-).....It seems as though several  of the manual sites 
have the operator and service manual for the 45 but not the  "B" .....Does 
anyone have some good information, mod's and troubleshooting  information on 
the 45 B.....I would be very happy to pay for any copies and  if I knew that a 
GOOD service manual for the 45 B was somewhere on line I  would  have no 
problem meeting their price
 
Any suggestions or info ???
 
Thanks &73
