Hi Robert,
I don't want to sound negative, but -- if you could tell us where on the
schematic, eg. grid of tube xx, etc, it would sure help us (me at least) in
helping you. By the time the TR-4C schematic got done, R & C nrs aren't
always consectutive in any one area, e.g. R-161 is connected to R-73, etc.
And the shematics aren't in reader friendly type size. I take my glasses
off to read the nrs, & have to put them back on to read your letter to re-ck
if I have the nrs right.
73,
