[Boatanchors] Electronic Network replacements

Hi Stanley,

I don't know about documentation on them, but very often the schematic 
would show what was inside of them, component wise.  They were very 
often used for the plate resistor, coupling capacitor and grid resistor 
and/or AGC components in small radios, and sometimes (usually) it was 
sufficient just to replace them with generic resistors/capacitors etc as 
those circuits usually aren't critical.

Now, the sync circuits in old TV's are another story as they were more 
critical of time constants etc.
