[Boatanchors] RF Comm SB-6F

[Bob Groh]

That is a bit of a step back in time!  I worked at RF Communications
(Rochester, NY) back in the day (i.e. from 1967 to 1977 when I went to
Heathkit) as a design engineer.  The SB-6F was even before my time - must
have been one of the first products to have come out (at the time I started
there, they had only been in business for a few years - RF Comm was started
by 4 engineers from General Dynamics - also in Rochester). It probably uses
same basic circuitry as the later 12 channel unit so, if you can find a
manual for it, that might be a starting point.  I used to have a few pieces
of RF Comm gear and manuals but all long gone. I would suspect your radio
is, regretfully, just a possible source of used parts.  Tubes, power
transformer, etc. As I get older (luckily getting older is still
happening), I increasingly have to admit that some old gear just has zip
value and that, because I really need to get stuff out of the house, the
only way out is to tear it down, sell what I can, scrap what I can and
throw away the rest.  Ugly but reality.  Best of luck with your new radio.
