    See also Model A-15 DC.

    Gernsback calls out the same schematic for Wilcox-Gay models A15, A17, 3JM6 and 3JQ6.  Riders has schematic for only models 3JM6 and 3JQ6 (Riders 7-2) but the alignment instructions (Riders 7-3) call out all 4 models.  Thus the schematic in Riders is also applicable for this model.
