Yes, similar information used to be made available for Western electronics. In addition to engineering equipment, consumer electronics such as TVs and radios, and even computers had full schematics at one point. As an example, can see hardware schematics in the Apple II Reference Manual found here: http://www.applelogic.org/UserManuals.html http://www.applelogic.org/UserManuals.html I'm mostly interested in the Soviet material as I'm assuming that because it was a legal requirement the types of documented designs will be more broad, but if you know of an archive of old Western schematics also, I would be interested in taking a look.
