Internals

The FG504 takes ±33 V from the right slot to create a ±15 V supply, and the +11.5 V for a +5 V supply. It uses the 25 VAC windings, 17.5 VAC, and +11.5 V from the left slot for a ±25 V supply to the output amplifier. The regulators incorporate the mainframe pass transistors on both slots.

U770 is a 155-0032-00 below S/N B057720, a 155-0217-00 from B057720 on.
