42-395 Information
#6

Welcome to the phorum! First thing I would suggest is go to the Philco repair bench and order a schematic from Chuck Schwark. He will hook you up with more information than you may ever need! Very reasonable prices also.
Be very careful working on these old beauties. Lethal voltages exist within, and aren't very forgiving. Not saying this to scare you, but undivided attention is required when servicing older electronics.
Everyone here is more than willing to help you all along the way. As the saying goes, the only stupid question is the one not asked. Take care, Gary
