[Boatanchors] National HRO-500

Greetings,

First of all Happy New year!

A HRO-500 followed me home yesterday.  Aside from a dent in the lower back 
corner the unit is very good cosmetically.  It powers up but the synth. 
only locks up at 3.5 and 29.5 MHz.  I have the manual and am starting to 
study it but was wondering who the resident HRO-500 experts are.  Boy this 
is a lot different than anything I've ever worked on before but at least I 
can still see the parts without a microscope and I don't have to worry 
about sticking my finger on several hundred volts of B+.  Is there a 
better list for help with this beast?   It is after all solid-state and a 
lot lighter than my other toys. 

Also, is there anyone left here in the northeast who repairs these in case 
I get hopelessly lost?
