Wanted: schematic for KROHN-HITE MODEL 440-A Oscillator

[Engineer]

Does anyone have the schematic for the vintage tube-based KROHN-HITE
MODEL 440-A Oscillator that they could scan and send me, or point to a
link (I haven't found one.) It's bigger than some boatanchors!
Mind has just died - no oscillation (but it was working.) I have
found a dead 6H6 tube (double-diode, heater open circuit - it may not
be critical and I could replace it with a 6AL5 with a base adapter);
also found a low emission 6AU5 (beam power tube) - it seems to be a B+
regulator but I still seem to have good B+. All 6SL7's test OK to
"good"; I subbed the worst one but still no oscillation. All other
tubes test OK to "good+". Now I'm stuck! I'm blind w/o a schematic on
this one.
Thanks for all replies.
Cheers,
Roger

(ta-boy) rogers dot(ty as they) com(e), suitably decoded. Tks.
PPS. Also posted on RAR+P and sci.electronic.repair as group readers
differ but do overlap. I hope no-one is offended.

Thanks, Dave, I may get it. At $15 plus mailing it's the same price
as I paid to for the 440-A!
Cheers,
Roger

Oops, perhaps not!
Subtotal $14.99
Shipping $23.75 (per this site)
Tax $0.00 (but see below...)
Total $38.74
Then there's 13% local Canadian sales taxes plus an iniquitous $5 fee
to collect them
Total $48.78
Plus about 5% x/c
Total over $51.00

I'll keep looking!
Cheers,
Roger
