Yes, that's the schematic I was referring to. I agree it's a different model, but there was also a picture of the circuit board and at least at a glance it looked identical to yours, save for slight differences in component appearance. So I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same or a very similar circuit, as Graham noted.

With some exceptions, companies often reused circuitry between models, which is very handy down the line when one can't track down the precise service manual for a product.
