Pilot 610 project

I have this Pilot FM receiver that I obtained ... somewhere, mant years ago. I want to add music to my basement workout space, so I picked this off the shelf as a candidate.

Surprise to me, it looks entirely virgin. Original cover, original screws, only dusty. Push-pull 6GW8s may have been replaced, but the rest of the tube complement is Tele and Mullard marked "Pilot."

I could go ahead and do the usual gentle ramp-up and testing, but I'd feel more comfortable with a schematic, or Sam's or something. Anybody have a source?

Hi Tim. Did you ever find a schematic? Really I'm just curious if these were pentode or ultra linear. I figure that it's old enough to just be pentode, but without finding much online...
Thanks, hope you ended up seeing it through,
