The manual that I've bought ,and is being shipped to me now , is put out by AUTOMOBILE RADIO CORPS, 20 pages on what they call "T" dial model , the radio I have , the bottom of the first page has :
AUTOMOBILE RADIO CORP
January 1, 1930


Copyright 1930
By
The AUTOMOBILE RADIO CORPS
NEW YORK ,New York
Then there are also 30 pages of service bulletins on the PHILCO Transitone that are also coming with this manual. I have been having a hard time trying to find ANYTHING on this 1930 Transitone there is NO schematic in Riders I did how ever find a schematic in Gersbeck, I have a copy of the sales brochure for Transitone given away by Chrysler at the 1930 Detriot Auto Show , and I have a copy of the TRANSITONE NEWS, a news paper given a away at the 1929 Indianapolis 500 , I have a Transitone 3 and parts of the 1929 Transitone , which there seams to be more of around than the 1930 "T" dial, I've located a 1929 Stutz and maybe a 1929 Packard with the 1929 Two dial Transitone, but have never located a 1930 "T" dail Transitone ,I really can't believe I have the only one left ,there must be some more around?
