Canadian RCA Model 50

Hello everyone. I have a Candian RCA Model 50. 5 tubes, 3 bands. I'm having trouble locating a schematic. Does anyone know where I can find this ?

Thanks.

Eric.

RCA has two "50" radios. An 8 tube R-50 and a 6 tube VR-50. The VR-50 has 6SA7, 6SK7, 6SQ7, 6F6, 6U5 & 5Y4G tube line up. If this is your radio several pages are available from the RCA Service Manual.

Ed,

Definitely only 5 tubes. From going through the schematics on this site, it appears to be similar to some of the 5Q series. 3 Bands, and a phono input, volume control, tone control. It's a table-top kind of thing.

I will check the VR-50 because some of the radios had the option for a tuning indicator which added one more tube..

Eric.
