I originally asked if there was a common modification for the input circuit, and made a comment about...

    President pb999-ac

    Is there a service manual for this specific board #? The 999 and the 999ac have different component numbers. Example if the 999 says L12 my board says L40, 999 says d17, my board says d67 ( not an exact example but you see what in saying). Board is in a grant DX.

    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS
