  • Notes

  • A cover sheet on the Service Notes states " The RCA R-24-B is a combination of both the R-71-B and SW-3 Shortwave Converter."

    This file contains the original factory service publication for the R-71-B and SW-3 Shortwave Converter."  Within the Service notes it states "The RCA Victor Short Wave Converter SW-3 is a two-tube Super-Heterodyne Converter that may be used with standard broadcast band receivers. By means of the Converter, short wave broad-casting stations may be received merely by tuning with the broadcast receiver. A selector switch allows choice of the short wave band that it is desired to receive...A three-section, five-position switch, located on the side or front of the cabinet, provides for readily changing the detector fixed tuning inductance and the oscillator fixed tuning capacitance (both in the short wave converter) for operation in any desired short wave broadcasting band..
