[Milsurplus] RCA AVR-11 Help Needed

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.
