I managed to find two on-line here. One is from a place, cant find it now, Sam's 83-6 schematic, and one was a copy of the original service manual. I havent taken the chassis out as of yet, I wanted to be sure I had something to go by before I did. The TV is sorta a special deal to the guy that asked me to look at it, so I wanted to be very careful. Just looking into the chassis area was not confidence instilling to have a desire to plug it in. bgadow, in this posting mentioned an easy fast test to tell if the picture tube was good and that made sense to me, so I was waiting to hear back what this test was and how to perform it. I did find a very good article at Phil's old radio website, reference restoring vintage TV's and Radio's. After reading it, there seemed to be alot of things that could easily burn out or already were, in the power supply. Being totally ignorant of television servicing, I thought waiting and getting what ever information I could prior to a plug in or tear apart. Replacing all the old paper caps and most of the resistors made sense to me. I believe I could troubleshoot the chassis if I had what the voltages at different points were supposed to be. I do appreciate the help and answers.
