Since no one else has posted, I'll say I can't help either. Does this bear any resemblance to the WR-64, which does show up with a Google search?

Tried BAMAs but they only have a WR-64b. Might want to try yahoo group for manuals or somewhere like that.

Snelson,

I just googled RCA "WR61A" schematic (with quotes on the model number) and found a $6.00 hit at

Not affiliated and I have never heard of the company.

I just ran across this forum so maybe you have found what you need but I do have the manual for the RCA WR-61A Generator and also the generator itself. Mine has been modified in the past to use the modulator and rf generator portion and is missing 3 tubes so is best considered a parts machine or a restoration project itself. The manual includes the schematics for both versions of the WR-61a
