I have the Sams photofact for this model. I might be able to scan it and e-mail it to you. I have one of these and they are great sets. They are cramped to work on though. I had to disassemble mine completely to recap it.

This article has restoration notes that you may find helpful.

Thanks Compucat, that would be very much appreciated. Email to: nbcblue at hotmail.com. The tag on the set said, sound but no picture. Opened it up when I got it home and found blown fuse in the horz circuit. Replaced that and it plays with excellent picture. So now for the challenge of recapping and don't really want to start that without a schematic on hand.

I sent the Sams to the e-mail address you gave me. It is a 13 meg PDF file so I hope the e-mail will take it. Sometimes anything over 5 megs gets kicked back.

I haven't see the file yet, so I may have been to large. Thanks for trying.

I have a basic schematic posted here:

There are a couple different chassis so I don't know if this one will be exact, I think the difference is in the vertical section.


I also have the owners manual for these sets posted here:

Tnx for the copy of the owners manual very kewl! How's that tuner coming along? No rush.

Hi Terry, I was supposed to send you a tuner wasn't I? :scratch2:

I'm sorry, it completely slipped my mushy mind. :sigh:

I'll get on that this evening, remind me again if you don't hear from me in a day!

Thanks Eric, that helps a lot.

Finally finished the restoration on this little portable set. For any interested:
