Posting in English is ok and the chances of someone having such a schematic is a lot higher than here. Yacht Boy radios were sort of a "must have" among German travelers. If all else fails, this guy seems to have it for 5 Euros: http://www.radio-antik.de/prod24.htm -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

Terrell" feels shouldn't be practiced. I've paid a lot over the years for service manuals and had no issues doing so. The information given is well worth it, how ever, you have some that'll give you a song and dance like they only need it for their own personal reference and end up of course, laughing all the way to the bank as they make their mark on the final results!. That's real gratitude for you. Service manuals are like test equipment. Should one also expect the equipment to be freely given out? Oh yeah, the shipping and packaging should also be included for free.! All things cost. 1. Labor. 2. Material.
