[TenTec] Help needed for ailing Paragon 585

[A R]

I acquired a very pristine (looking) 585 last weekend at a hamfest. It has absolutely no cosmetic flaws or evidence of use/wear. Maybe that’s because it suffers from a sporadic failure mode that corrupts/distorts both received and transmitted audio. This Paragon is in such good condition cosmetically, that I’d sure like to restore dependable electrical function. Internal visual inspection suggests that the radio is “factory fresh”, with no obvious evidence of anyone having mucked around in it.

I downloaded the online 585 manual, but it’s devoid of any schematics or even a flow diagram like I’ve  found in the manuals for my many other TenTec radios.

Can anyone provide me with, or point to a source for schematics or flow diagram useful for troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance,
