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!!

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.

Any chance we can see that translation of Chairman's Perfect Wisdom?

I used to have Mao in a fantasy "World Domination" league. But he
crapped out before Cambodia fell...

This is a very interesting web site. One can figure out
the translated text reasonably well. Some of the odd word
substitutions actually make some sense, for instance
"aircraft" or "plane" for radio, after all the radio is sort
of dealing with signals flying through the air. I think
"loom" means "band", again a sort of connection if you think
of a cloth band being made on or a part of a loom. Automatic
translation of a pictographic language is something of a
tour de force.
The AR88 copy looks well made from the photos.
