The Problem with Zenith 5516 Schematics
#1

I posted part 1 on this parts-change problem a while ago:

https://www.russoldradios.com/blog/zenit...16-chassis

Now here is part 2. Of significance is the comparative/corrected schematic and parts list for the later 1k FC. 

These used to frustrate me. There are a lot of them. Early on I just decided to replace what looked like FACTORY parts with the same value even if different from the schematic. Problem arises when you got one that had already befuddled the previous repair guy. The parts could be - anything.... Anyway, this should resolve the differences in the 1K FC and the 2.125k FC units.

Also has a picture of the Zenith 6-SX-127 - - - yeah, look that one up Icon_lol
