Help sorting out schematic discrepancy? (Zenith 17D20 chassis)

[Electronic M]

There are 3 reasons for schematic discrepancies: 1)production changes, 2)schematic typos, 3) hack repair/modification.

Unless the differences look to be the work of a hack attempting to repair the set ALWAYS go with the parts/wiring in the set instead of what is on paper. If you make the set match a typo or a pre-production change variant at best performance could change slightly, at worst the set could stop working and or be damaged.

In the case of there being evidence of hack repairs in the affected area it is normally best to follow the schematic.

I've lost count of the many times I've discussed this point....Perhaps I should make it into a sticky?

Done.
