Spotted this radio on Ebay end of last month. In of all places Honolulu, would never normallly buy from overseas but radio looked so good and being a transistor hopefully less chance of damage. Arrived yesterday safe and sound, from purchase to delivery 13 days via Ohio then Kentucky. I posted a parcel on first of december 180 miles up the road to Scotland supposed to take five days maximum, arrived after ten days unbelievable service in this country non existent. Radio is in full working condition and cosmetically really nice. Can anyone point me in the direction of a Schematic or sevice manual, found one but 19 dollars may end up there if nothing else. Added some pics.

The P835A looks very much the same thing, so may help a bit, there is 1 on ebay at the moment.
