Hi Dan,
Looks like a neat radio. Can't find the schematic. If you can post a link that would be great. Is it an 18K or is there a digit missing?
Looks like the set has 6L6s for the output stage, and the back on the speaker area indicates that RCA Victor had some idea of baffling and / or tuned ports. Love the "Magic Brain" Sticker. They used that for quite a while in the 30s. Apparently, it was in a smoker's house.
As to the tube count, RCA actually ran an ad on one of these higher end radios similar to this one, explaining that each tube had a task and there were no tubes in there merely for "tube count" For example, there appears to be an advantage in fidelity with the separate 6H6 detector and audio amp instead of a 6Q7 Detector / 1st AF Amp.
How far up north or high in the mountains is Calgary? I know it gets cold in the winter, but 34 Deg F in June? Do you mean 34 Deg C? Was abut 99 Deg F / 37 Deg C here in Long Island, NY, Southeast tip of NY, the past few days.
