Inside Northern Electric R4389B Theatre Bay

Last year my friend bought this "Northern Electric" mono theater rack sound system 

from local seller and ask me to restore to working condition.

Problem was information for this brand is hard to find, not like Western Electric equipment

that you can find from many sources.

After find out for long time, I can collect schematics that refer to each amplifier in the rack.

Then I thought to cluster them in my blog.

If someone want information should spend less time than me.
