Hello, all!

I'm trying to restore a Philco Tropic model B806 made in GB.

It's a complete mess. Although it is similar to model B2806 (LW instead of SW), I really would like to find the correct schematics. As it can be seen on the pictures it will have to go back to bare metal first and I feel I won't be able to put it back together without the correct service manual.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

All the best.
Joao
