Another advantage of using the Philco manuals is that the little numbers on the boards match the Philco part numbers in the manuals.

And thanks, Phil, for posting the factory board diagram on your website...That will be most useful I know Bob has addressed this, but every time I look at that setup, I can't help but wonder if there isn't some kind of connector that could be soldered & shrinkwrapped to the ends of the board connect wires that could then be plugged/unplugged directly to the board studs...like a loose octal socket female pin?......something that would make good contact
