Chassis Notes(most schematics can be clicked to download a full size version)

The 710B was (one of?) the last 5-valve BC Philcos from DRECO before the war, and the 515 / 515A was one of the first after it - between these two schematics you should have enough information to work on one of these - those sets are also both 455kc/s IF's so thats likely the IF for this one too (although it could come down to what they had or could get, given the war).
