Of course, with an orphaned product that may not be an issue.

The original poster may also try looking for updated schematics. I have a few Heathkit instruments, when I went looking for the manuals I discovered that people had done everything from slight mods to improve them, to entirely new replacement circuits and PCB patterns.
