From the project
Apollo Era Card Reverse Engineering Project,
See the accompanying Hackaday writeup about this schematic project:
https://hackaday.com/2024/11/25/apollo-era-pcb-reverse-engineering-to-kicad
This repo documents additional explorations into the reverse engineering effort of an Apollo-era printed circuit board assemly that Skyhawkson obtained earlier this year. See his project at the original repo.
Note: I planned to submit this as a pull request to Skyhawkson's repository. But I ran into trouble with git and spaces in filenames, a problem I haven't seen before.
