Can anyone tell me where to locate the schematic for the Firebird V 500 or know the ohms of the potentiometer? It is missing and I cant any info.

Try this. Only potientiometer I see is connected to the meter. Shows a value of 10k ohms.

Yeah, the "V" 500 was different. "V" as in variable. Has a carrier rollback pot on the front. Seems to me it was 47k, and prone to burnout.

(brief pause)

Found it! Says "Dial-A-Power", not "V", but I think this is the same thing. I remember this as a somewhat-flaky setup, but it's been a while. Probably just as well.
