I am working on a Philco 41-616 Remote Controlled radio console. The chassis has been "butchered" somewhat. Knowing nothing about the specific details of the mode switching relays, I need some information.
Foe example: When switching from Radio to Phono mode, what functions are switched, such as oscillator screen, audio, detector output, etc. Does anyone have any data such as: When the remote control switches to Volume Control, relay Kxxx is energized, connecting grid of Vxxx to terminal xxx of TB xx.
I have a pretty good grasp of the theory behind all of the circuits, but am completely lost in the physical details. I have an excellent set of schematics.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
