Very amusing translation and also the pictures, especially the tuning dials.
The tuning gear, general layout and screening seem authentic (ie as the RCA
model), but the valves (tubes) seem not to be. There are screened miniature
valves in the RF section and (octal) glass valves elsewhere. The original;
and as far as I know, metal octal except for the rectifier and voltage
regulator glass octal.

Very interesting reading. Regarding the translation, though, when some
co-workers helped me translate another Chinese MIL radio manual, some of
the phraseology came out just like the referenced post did. Literal
translations for other than direct technical date are rough to work with.
And... if you think the manual, per se, was tough to decipher and/or
humorous, you should have read the translation of Chairman Mao's preface
memo in my manual!!! Now there was a memo!!! HI!!
