Re: Receiver identification
RC410, positive ID
I used to have one of the prototypes, along with the full service manual.
It is switch tuned, the tuning control rotates a switch and every rev a geneva machanism increments the next switch up and so on. Pull out the kHz knob (large right one) for slower tuning, but you still need to keep grabbing the fine tune pot to clarify SSB.
Large warpy paper/phenolic PCBs
You've GOT to see the gearbox and switches!
Not a brilliant performer. Early bipolar front end with an oddball mixer that's poor with large signals. Makes the RA1217 look wonderful!
Servomotor tuned preselector on the front end.
