Hello,
New to the forum and I hope this is in the right place. I have a Canadian Hippo I would like to restore and have a few issues. First it has no chassis ink stamp on it. It does have a metal plate rivited to it that says chassis 75. It hasn't no rf coil by the gang on top of chassis. Antenna screw  
Has an insulator on it. Main cap has been replaced with a 3 way cap but two are wired in parallel. So it has a 120uf and a 20 uf for the power which is wrong from my research. The tube line up is 14AF7, 2-7B7, 1-35Z5, And a  50l6gt , would anybody have a exact diagram or know where i can get one. I'm off This week and want to get her up it sort of looks like a 48-460 type 122 but it's not. Any help would be much appreciated 

Regards
