Hey guys, I am trying to get my radio working. It's a 61 hybrid and I have repaired a few cold solder joints, the power transister, a broken wire and still nothing. I am down to needing a schematic. I am not even shure the tubes are in the correct spots. Any help out there with maybe a copy of a Sams Photofact or something so I can get this thing going? Thanks, Bruce.

I have repaired a few of those! I do not have any schematics, but you may want to check the vibrator and the capacitors. Those old paper caps were / are notorious for leaking. There should be a diagram of what tube goes where unless it fell off the chassis long ago.

Thanks George,
The radio is one of those hybrids so there is no vibrator and I thought
there should have been a tube layout but it is long gone. I am sure the glue
dried and the diagram fell off. I will take a close look at the caps though.
Sure would help if I had a schematic so I could check some voltages. Thanks
again, Bruce.

SAY GEORGE, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT TYPE TUBE GOES IN A 63 AM RADIO? THE ONE THAT IS ACCESSABLE VIA THE RECTANGULAR HOLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. ANY IDEA?? JAWS
