Happily, the schematic is silkscreened onto the solder

computer hardware. It's almost as if they were planning on people
wanting to repair it. What a concept.
There was a time when one could expect to encounter a schematic for a
radio or TV printed on a sheet of paper glued to the inside of the
cabinet or some part of the chassis. (Sigh--"chassis" and "cabinet"
are two words you don't often hear today in connection with
electronics).
