made them for a year or two. Just as well I hated them ! After
that the solid states came out & were 10 times better If you
want a pix look for brochures on e-bay. Also the Sams manual will have
a B&W pix on it.

I don't remember the control panel, but I do remember replacing the flyback on one of those dogs. The original FBT had a HV rect tube and the new one used a trippler. You had to install all the engineering changes, as well.
IIRC, there was a bunch of diodes and a few other components. They were good enough to send a schematic to show where all those parts went.
