Oh no it's one of "those guys" lets  RUUUUUUNNNNNN![Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...on_lol.gif].

Here's the scoop, the schematic I linked to my post is from Radio Riders. They span from 1923-1954, are free, and are direct copies from the manufacture's service info. Here's a link to find a schematic: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/

Sam's photofacts cover from 1946- into the 2000's, have to buy them unless you know someone[Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...wisted.gif]. The biggest difference is that they are redrawn from the originals and parts are renumbered. They also have listed some equivalent replacement parts which can be handy sometimes.

There's also Beitman's Most often need schematics 1926-1969  https://worldradiohistory.com/Beitman-Manual.htm Or if you just like reading https://worldradiohistory.com/ has tons of radio magazines from the teens-'80s.             

Enjoy!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
