Default Bush A98

Hi All,
There's a white circular label on the back of the rf chassis here that says 'a98', yet this draws a blank on the google and the service data.
It's a boxy mid/late 50's set, resembling a T67 that popped up in a search
Thoughts welcome as to how to ID and obtain a diagram.
Unnervingly, the rhs glass fuse on the main chassis is missing, as was one of the screws holding the screening cover of the LOPT - otherwise all there
Many Thanks John

Hi John
Your set could be a TV56 or TV63 , depends on the size of the CRT.
The A98 is not a model number but telling you which version of RF unit is fitted , there will be one of those white discs on the timebase chassis as well.
I'm sure someone will tell you where to find the circuit diagram.

What is printed on the rectangular label on the timebase chassis.

The set's serial number. The 299/------ in the serial number label photo signifies it was fitted in a Bush TV66 (17" CRT table model).

The A98 receiver unit and A93 timebase unit were fitted in a TV66.

The TV56 is the preceding model, but IIRC, the timebase unit used an EY51 wired-in EHT rectifier and a different under-chassis tag panel layout.

Thankyou to all,
It looks very like a dirtier version of the snaps you've attached, and the rectangular label reads 22b/45b(or 8?)02.
Without powering up I've divined that the electrolytics are s/c.
I'll replace a few boost cap's and cut the h.t. to the receiver chassis before thinking about powering
More anon
