I was wrong about the 1946-47 Home Radio Yearbook, it DOES give schematics for the following Tropic models: 46-806, 46-816, 46-817, 46-818, 46-860 & 46-888.

I looked in my large binder of 1946-49 Philco service manuals, but unfortunately I do not have any manuals for 1948 Tropic models in there.

Gentlemen, would you like to share photos of your Tropic models for inclusion in the Photo Gallery? It would be very much appreciated.
