I'm starting to find differences from this schematic
http://vintage-technics.ru/Minifon%2...nned-P55-1.JPG
orientation of triple ganged master switch is different
I cannot find the fast acting switch parallel to the seriesed end or

reel
switches


The first place I would look is around the operating key bank. I assume
it momentarily by-passes the end-of-spool switches, so it is probably
operated from one end of the slide locking bar on the key bank.

Have you tried following the end-of-spool wires back from the deck plate
onto the amplifier board (if they haven't fallen off yet) ? They might
lead you to it.

I can see why the 2 end of reel switches are in series but not why that
"switch" is in parallel with another one , the fast acting one, as it will
do nothing unless at the end of reel , which has to act before the fast one
, so what is the point?
