There are some other sources of TV Service Data available free or for nominal prices:–

1) Servicing Articles by Les, E.T., John Reddihough, etc., over the years in Television magazine, from the American Radio History site;

2) Elektrotanya, altho' it's a bit hit–and–miss what you find on there;

3) Radiomuseum, you no longer are forced to have a paid account to download a basic circuit, up to three pages, but above that you really need a Member's Account, either paid or earned by donations;

4) For anyone who wants to do 1967–1973 CTVs, the "Mazda Book of PAL Receiver Servicing" and Gordon J King's red, blue and green Hardback "Colour TV Service Manuals" cover most sets up to 1975 – the Mazda Book is on the Internet Archive, all these cover the inportant parts of the chassis they cover! (I don't think that sound intercarrier/audio circuit servicing is covered in these books, but that's bread–and–butter stuff!)

5) For anyone lucky enough to have been able to get hold of a British–made pre–1967 prototype CTV, there's a book of "Wireless World" derivation dated 1961, recently posted on A.R.H. that covers a lot of the theory of the circuits used in these prototype sets, containing many sections of example circuits with full component values given!

For anyone who can unravel Cyrillic, service manuals and circuit diagrams for very large numbers of Russian and Eastern European equipment, including a lot of T & M, is in the archives of tbe Soviet Area "Radio" magzine;
