You know... I miss that! There was a time when virtually *everything* 
included a schematic. I remember lamenting their demise sometime in the 80's. I'd 
open stuff up, and ask "Where's the schematic?!" They were either inside the 
unit, or on the last page of the manual.

Now we get manuals with instructions like: "To operate radio, rotate knob to 
position ON then turn to volume requested. To set station, turn dial for 
frequency. If poor sound, replace battery."

Ugh.
