[Milsurplus] AR-8511 (was Boulevard Receiver)

[Al Klase]

While we're on the subject, does anyone have a schematic for an 
AR-8511.  This appears to be RCA Radiomarine's take on a moral receiver 
(1945).

110 VDC Power
540-23,000 KC in four bands
IF selectivity control
Phono input and tone control
BFO
16 tubes + neon VR

That includes six (6) 26L6's in push-pull-parallel to get enough output 
for multiple speakers.

Nice radio.  Need docs.

Thanks,
Al
