Nick,
FYI,
Just getting back into this machine. The wiring of my TT-69A matches
the schematic (fig 2-79) & wiring (Fig 3-3) diagrams of NAVSHIPS 91713,
but not 2852WD & 2852WD, rev D. (maybe they did in earlier versions?)
My TT-69A & NAVSHIPS 91713 do not have the polar ("LINE") relay and the
signal line filter connects directly to terminals C5 & C10 (TB-751).
Thanks,
Duncan,
