[Boatanchors] National NC-101 Help Needed

    Just a general comment. Sometimes schematics have voltages on 
them, can be helpful. Also, for voltage charts be careful of the 
meter specified (if one is). In old sets the DC voltages were 
often measured with 1000 ohm/volt meters. A modern 20,000 
ohm/volt meter or an electronic meter will often read high. I 
discovered this in working on Hammarlund SP-600 receivers, the 
voltage charts were taken with a Weston meter of 1000 ohms/volt. 
When read with such a meter they are quite accurate but a modern 
meter may fool you.
