Need a couple of scans for Philco Safari

Is there some kind soul out there who could scan a couple of pages from the Philco Safari service manual for me?

My Safari is far down on the to-do list, but I have this gizmo called a Capacitor Wizard which supposedly tests electrolytics in circuit. It's not really useful for vintage stuff, so I have made a deal to trade it for something else. Before sending it off, however, I thought I would quickly test the electrolytics in my Safari.

I pulled the brick of electronics out of the case, and it looks like I could test many of them from the solder side of the boards, without pulling the whole thing apart completely (yes, I'm lazy).

What I would need is a diagram showing what's what from the solder side. Or maybe that doesn't exist, and those diagrams would only show things like test points . . . .

Anyway, just thought I would ask. I'll eventually order complete schematics. I just wanted to get this done and ship the gizmo off, then put the Safari back together for another day.

Phil

The bottom of my leather case says Philco model H-2010. The paper label inside was scraped when removing the chassis, so it says "Philco <scrape>" .

I don't know whether the model numbers would be the same or different for Canadian vs US. I know they differ for some radio manufacturers.

I'm guessing it's the same TV. Before you go to the trouble of scanning, you might leaf through the pages and see whether there are diagrams or pictures that would help in my lazy-man's goal.

TubeTV, I got the Sams elsewhere, so you can hold off on scanning. Thanks for the offer.
