I just acquired a very cool-looking RME-45 receiver
for a very affordable price.
This is the "late" -45 with the VR-150 and the calibrated
bandspread, not the 45B.  I have the SAMS
and the Google-available information.  
Here's some photos:

Looking for more info:

1.  What is the speaker impedance? Ans.     4 / 6 ohms depending on which manual you check
2.  What is the pin-out of the octal socket on the
    left side of the chassis rear (not in the available
    information)?  Does it need "muting" jumper? Ans.     Must be an add-on by the dreaded previous owner, not found on my example

3.  Are the fixed capacitors in the IF transformers 
    commonly bad?Ans.    Don't know, have yet to restore my RME-45

4.  Do the IF tuning capacitors have "press fit" collars 
    that crack like those in TCS?Ans.    Dito

5.  Any common failures like the AVC to B+ leaks in 
    Nationals and TCS?

6.  Anyone ever install a temp. compensation cap
    on the Osc section like is done in HROs?

7.  Any other "hints and kinks?"Ans.     Antenna tuners were available with matching style cabinets, DB-20, DB-22, DB-23 HF                 Tuners and the VHF-152 converter.  Possibly others dressed up in military style.
