New to the radio restoration world
#15

Chuck, a schematic for your radio is critical with your level of experience. My level as well. Many here just seem to know what has to be what. If you get no response here, post in the for sale/buy sub forum. Generally some other Canuck will have a listing of radios made in Canada and probably copy and send to you N/C. Justradios in Canada also have schematics for sale and may be able to help. Your radio being "newer" means that Sams Photofact is no doubt the source. They supplied schematics around that time for devices like yours. Prewar schematics were covered well and can be found at Nostalgia Air's web site.
Have fun and be safe. As indicated there are some high voltages in there. Without a schematic it is hard for us to tell just exactly how safe you need to be. All radios have high voltages but some "later" radios without a power transformer known as AC/DC radios have other real safety concerns. The schematic will tell a lot.
Enjoy the adventure and as indicated earlier, when you get this up and running, you will be looking for another! It is a disease.
