****** Ross,AFAIK the RA17 MkII used a CV378 (GZ33) thermionic rectifier for
the B+ and the RA17C3 used solid state silicon diodes,what does your set
have?
Another difference was the C3 had a 75 Ohm wideband termination in the
antenna circuit.
I can provide you with a reasonable RA1MkII circuit diagram scan over four
pages,please let me know if you want this.Interestingly enough,the copy I
have has the "MkII" crossed out and "C" hand written in.

 >Mainly interested in the 100kHz IF strip and AGC circuits.

*****Depends on what model you actually have.I'm not sure if a C3 had the
double tuned antenna coils,perhaps not.It may have had a CV3998 (E180F) wide
band pentode as the RF amp which ran wide open with no AGC applied. Please
let me know.
