I felt that in light of the archetype video by Shang066 demonstrating how these T-O's can be improved, I have a few questions:

The G500 (chassis 8G005YT) using 8-pin loctal tubes was in HW Sams 53 or 83 both? Had one and sold it.

The one in the video (A600?) must be the mid-late 1950s, I have a great full-sized factory schematic for THAT one, but not the radio itself.

My only T-O is the model R600/6R40 chassis and I would like to get a schematic, but Nostalgiaair does not list one for Riders.

How close are the models of the mid 50s Tom?
