48-482 no FM
#7

I think I have come across an error in the schematic.  The resistance for the primary of Z401 is clearly listed at 70 ohms.  I physically removed and disassembled Z401 to see if I could find what would cause the resistance to be only 6.6 ohms.  I concluded that the true resistance is 6.6 ohms (I unsoldered the connection to the cap to be sure it wasn't the problem), which makes me thing the schematic should read 7.0 ohms, not 70.  I was thinking I pulled it out for no reason, but I confirmed what the resistance is.

This makes me wonder if there is a similar discrepancy in the resistances shown for the secondary of Z400.  Could they be 21 and 1.5 instead of 21 and 15 ohms?  Z400 would be a bear to remove, being under the FM switch.

Can anybody tell me what it really should be?
