Schematic needed Zenith X316B

So many times folks ask for help and then the thread goes silent. Thought I would finish the story on this one. Sixties Zenith table am/fm radio belonged to a fellow AK member's acquaintance, was given it with hope of repair since the owner was unable to enjoy it after it quit. With the help of Tom's provision of the schematic I had the roadmap so dug right in.
Better use one of these, hot chassis for sure.

Zenith's basic AM/FM radios were surprisingly good performers, better than many similar AM/FM sets of the era. Usually a few caps and a fresh power supply can gets them going again. Sometimes the output of the rectifier gets weak but thats easy enough too.
