[sdiy] Help with Hammond Solovox service info

[Dave Leith]

Hi Grant

I have a document from Hammond called "Technical Information on the
SOLOVOX Model L"

It has circuit descriptions, block diagrams, adjustments, parts
layouts, tube charts, full wiring diagram, diagnosis steps...but no
actual circuit schematics. There does seems like enough info to make a
schematic if one substituted tube diagrams in the wiring diagram but
either wasn't included or came as a separate sheet.

It's 16 pages long.

I could scan but probably even easier would be to make a photocopy and
mail. Let me know. No problem to send. At one time I owned one but
sold it a couple of years ago.
