Schematics for RCA AVQ-10 weather radar. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Al (astral highway) · 5th Nov 2008, 8:16 pm

I am trying to isolate and salvage the timebase, receiver and possibly some chokes from an old RCA radar.

Does anyone know where I can get schematics, please?

It's an AVQ-10 and the markings on all the glass-enveloped valves are illegible.

Thank you

Hi Astral - Have you tried the BAMA Web Site?

Al.
