Thanks Larry.
One thing I really abhore about Zenith schematic is their ref. designator serving as value-related position and not as unique part.
They can have several R2s, or C12s in the same sch, and this is just stupid as you now cannot say "look at the R2 for me" and you have to say "look at the R2 in the 6k7 cathode."
The R2 becomes a R2, a big no-no for me. In Philcos even though all the parts are simply denoted by numbers, not by alphanumerics, but those are unique and listed comma-separated, much like it is today in BOMs.
