I picked up an RCA A-203A/SR Receiver and a pretty awful (the price was
right) looking but appears to be complete AR-77 at the Williams Arizona
hamfest on Friday.

No problem finding info on the AR-77 but have found nothing on the RCA
A-203A/SR Receiver other than a mention in the Osterman book. This one
is complete except missing the dial cover and dial scale. From the
picture in the book looks to be a fragile plastic easily broken and
easily lost dial. The pointer is still there. The radio appears complete
in all other aspects however it has been painted silver. Why did people
do these things? When I got my Breting 12, it had been painted blue.

Anyway, I am looking for a schematic or manual or any other
documentation on the RCA A-203A/SR Receiver. Does anybody have one that
has the original dial that they might be able to take a photo of and
e-mail me. Also, what was the original color before it was "silver plated?"

Also looking for any comments, positive or negative on this receiver.

Tnx and 73,

Dave N7RK
