Note on Schematic Diagram:
• All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. (p: pF) 50 WV or
less are not indicated except for electrolytics and tantalums.
• All resistors are in Ω and 1/4 W or less unless otherwise specified.
• C : panel designation.
• A : B+ Line.
•Voltages and waveforms are dc with respect to ground in service
mode.
no mark : POWER ON
•Voltages are taken with a VOM (Input impedance 10 MΩ).
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.

NOTE:
• -XX, -X mean standardized parts, so they may
have some differences from the original one.
• Items marked “*” are not stocked since they
are seldom required for routine service. Some
delay should be anticipated when ordering these
items.
