Thanks for your reply Jonesy.....I just took a look (have it apart on my
bench) and there is no diagram inside - Good idea though; remember when
many radio's (and indeed other electrical equipment of all kinds) had
the diagram with them in the manner you described - Thats when
manufacturers were proud of their products


I can remember some palm-sized RS gadget (a WX Rcvr perhaps...) that
had it's schematic glued to the inside of the 9V battery cover!
It took a microscope to read it -- but, it was clear and complete.


I haven't seen schematics inside stuff for a long time.
On the other hand, I've had things from Radio Shack here in Canada as
recently as ten or so years ago that had a schematic inside the manual.


Ya, well, the OP's topic was discussing RS products from the
late 60's -- early 70's.

Most new $h1t is all encased in one 256-pin SMD chip.
Consumers are now just landfill conduits.
