Ordered a bunch of electrolytic caps today, so I can start putting something in this thing.
It seems that SAMs is wrong, and the 895 is NOT like the 899 and other models, just very very close,

My thoughts on it are, since they put in in a unit with a radio as a dominant unit, they removed power switch and vol control, but doing that also removed the contrast pot , as it was ganged all together , so they stuck it on the other side of the tuning knob.
I have looked, but have not found any service info for the FADA 895 exactly they just keep pointing to the docs I have that are for the 899 and so on.
i doubt the right one can be found.
The weird thing is, I do not ever recall seeing the tuner and phonograph section with it there in all the years I saw it there, no idea what happened to it, if it was there I'm sure I would have grabbed it.
No telling what happened with this thing in the years it was first installed and when my grandparents got the place.
anyway the first few steps back to life have been started with it!
