Detrola BC-1206A Schematic & History?

[Scott Johnson]

I've got on of the Detrola's as well, I would guess a manual would be 
scarce, as these were basically ferry radios that would be removed and 
tossed after the aircraft made it to the completion center for government 
radio fit-up. (Hence the cheap construction)
