Guys:

I need some help. I have an RCA AVR-11 receiver (ca. 1935) 
and need a schematic and/or manual.

When I first got this receiver, I thought it was an AVR-5 
and Chuck McGregor was kind enough to email me an AVR-5 
manual. (Thank you again, Chuck). Tonight, however, I took 
the receiver out of its cabinet and see that it's an AVR-11, 
not an AVR-5. The wiring etc. is quite different from the 
AVR-5 so I need an AVR-11 manual or schematic. I checked the 
'Net and the mailing list archives but could find nothing to 
help.

The schematic might be in the 1935 RCA red book. 
Unfortunately, I have only an abridged version covering 
1923-37 and it doesn't include any AVRs.

By the way, here's what an AVR-11 looks like:

When it's in the cabinet, the speaker sits atop the receiver 
and it is a very impressive (and very, very heavy) item.

Once again, thank you for your help and guidance.

P.S. I'm sending this to the Milsurplus list because one of 
the few things I found on line suggested that the AVR-11 may 
have been discussed on that list at one time. I couldn't 
find it in the archives but I don't want to leave any stone 
unturned.

There is a thread there with a possible lead to a manual.
