Robin,

I am not familiar with that number. Does it look like any of these? http://www.lloydsdipsydumpster.com/Antique%20Aircraft%20Radios/rca_radios.htm

If it's the AVT-112A in the previous link I've got one as well and at least a schematic.

A picture would help.

I've got the rest of the 7 or 8 page manual if it helps. You might compare your's to this rig and see if it matches.

I'm going to put mine on the air on 80 sooner or later.
