That't the ASR880 isn't it? I have the power amp schematic on my Made in Rochester page. (ASP-80) The rest will be scanned when I get a copy of the Sams folder - maybe soon.

So you like TOOOBS, do you ?!? Well, me lad, let yer ol' Unca Sandy learn ya about a wonderful radio called an R-390A. They were made from 1954-84, have 25 of the little glowing firebottles, and are still considered one of the finest shortwave sets ever made. A good one will hold its own against modern ricebox stuff, the only concession a 390 has to make is lack of electronic memories. Since they are half-machine & half-electronic, R-390As appeal to the tinkerer in most of us overgrown little boys. But don't go futzing around one unless you know what you're doing, and then, don't do it anyway. A good, hot 390A w/a halfway decent antenna can easily land you Finland on a clear day...<grin>-Sandy G,AK's Mad Uncle....
