It's an
RCA reference book from 1963, and it contains [...]
If the cover sez "RCA
Receiving Tubes" it's a reasonably available
book, and even reprinted. There's a number att he bottom, RC-18 or
something like that, there's versions up to RC-39 (or whatever the
prefix is). If it's some obscure industrial types the data could be
hard-to-find. What with the ads you say it has it's likely not
just an RCA tube
manual. I wouldn't want to part with it either, lots o'pretty
pictures and cool tech culture stuff.
And for me, rather sentimental; it has been my reference for tube
pinouts and heater parameters for as long as I've been doing
electronics - I was doing tubes before I started doing solid state.
But no, it's not just tubes. The receiving tubes section is perhaps
the largest single section, but it's only one of about a dozen
sections, and is no more than about 1/5 of the book.
