Need Wards amp schematic

I have an old Wards guitar amp I bought used in 1968 or 1969. I loaned it to someone about 10 years ago, and got it back, but tried to use it the other day, and it has no power output. I took it apart, and the first input had an open wire which I resoldered but no availl. I have been looking everywhere for a schematic( too bad I don't have an Airline). The Model # is 62 GVC 9035. Does anyone know where I can get a schematic? Thanks Bill Moore.

Are you Bill Moore from NJ? I knew a Bill Moore back there in the late 60's early 70's.

The Tube Amp Book by Aspen Pittman has a bunch of Wards Schematics in it.

Look on Schematic Heaven. Under Airline/Wards they have a ton, including the 62-9025 and GVC9045. Those two or one of the others might be close enough to help. Most of the cheap amps had a family resemblance under the skin. They tended not to make up completely new designs for each. We hope that is the case here.

Thanks for the help, I will look into to book you mentioned. I did live in Maryland for a few years in the 50's, but most of my life I've been here in New Mexico.

I did find that site

Thanks for the information, I did find a few schematics that either resembled my old amp in the preamp, or power amp side. Hopefully one or the other will be similar.
