[Milsurplus] I complain about German manuals again

No, it's the lack of any voltage or resistance tables, such as those Hallicrafters published even in their manuals for economy level radios.
(  I don't know, however about the Ecophone, S-38, or S-119. )
I'm recalling right now that the "German HRO" KST receiver manual also lacks data, altho it's circuit explanation is pretty thorough.
I entered the R3 manual project in my list as project N + 1.  The schematic is unwieldy to work with, around 12 x 20 inches, so I'll reduce
that, and enter the parts values, and then probably upload it to mods.dk
I probably would have been satisfied with an online manual, but what I saw was small, not distinct, no parts values, and partial. So I
bought an original.
Hey, while I'm in bitching mode, the paper quality is also poor, in a hurry to degrade to oblivion.
( And I'm pretty sure their manuals were delivered by horse-drawn conveyances. )
I do understand the wartime exigencies the Reich operated under, trying to keep the empire together under relentless hammer blows.

BTW, I was in the Dollar Tree store tonite, and in checking their Literature Department, I found for $1 this book, "Target London –
Under Attack From the V-Weapons During WWII"   ( Christy Campbell, 2012. ) Well written and really interesting, as it continually
contrasts Brit efforts to defend, and to pass disinformation back to the enemy, with the German efforts to improve their targeting
and weapon production, and later, to keep moving the launch teams. Ultra figures prominently.
( You never know what war histories are going to turn up in the $ Store, fun. )

Wasn't the original issue a lack of component values on your R3 schematic or am I mistaken?
