Hi Ron,

You need the 3700 (not the 3800) manual which covers the electrical and 
audio of the 1050. Also the large foldout sheet for the 3710 should work 
- it has the sequence of operations, which is really handy.

The B side of the pin cancel assembly may have a problem, can you email 
me some photos of the assembly? I have parts for that unit.
