My printer is dead. I usually print the diagram and then right all over it. Now I keep running to the computer and then back to the set.Right now I am more worried about my radio.

Which one is the hot cap?

And remember this circuit does not have a chassis ground.

Sure wish that schematic had some voltage readings.
