Can somebody sent me, or direct me to,  a hi rez photo of the area of
the parent board where 10R and a10T busses are, and the Q306, and Q307
on the exciter board. My manual is a downloaded copy and the photo's
are just black blots on the page. What is the modern part numbers of
Q306, and 307.

Big time thanks in advance
Ken
