I am attaching the five pages in Service Supplements that CW had a link to in his post. The first supplement is over 500 pages long, there is an index in the front section that you can refer to to find info for other equipment. I have also uploaded the pages for the tender.
Regarding the tender, I recall that the foam will BREAKDOWN OVER TIME AND WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE SOUND BOARD WHICH ARE HARD IF NOT POSSIBLE TO REPLACE! SO THE BEST RECOMMENDATION THAT I HAVE READ ON THE FORUM IS TO REPLACE THE FOAM WITH FOAM TAPE OF SOME SORT.
There is also this book which is rather expensive, I don't have it, but i think the service supplements contain the same basic info.

Oh, interesting about the foam breaking down!
I'll be sure to PM that. Reminds me of a 22 year old car I just got rid of...weather stripping, seat cushioning, foam-backed floor mats...all disintegrating into dust!
