Last night I noticed something interesting when scanning the schematics, getting ready to doze off... A lot of the resistors are marked with M rather than k suffixes. Now I'm darned sure there are not handfuls of 47 Meg and 470 Meg resistors (I can read the colour bands).
Do many other schematics call out values this way?
Oh and aside from the rubber wire, the RF deck is full of paper caps in horrendous locations. I suppose I'll untangle them all and desolder properly, but it is no surprise that many repair men clipped and resoldered to the leads of the old component...
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
