This involves printing it and the original, then marking checked tracks with a highlighter pen. Not difficult but you do have to be patient and meticulous. I can do this.

I printed the old and new schematics on A3 paper. 

First job will be to check the pin numbers of each part match.

Checked final sheet today. All sheets now checked.

No discrepancies, although the original numbers header pins in an unconventional way.

The capacitor for BBG looked wrong (+ve to ground) until noting that it is the decoupler for a negative bias generator.

Original circuit omits power and ground pins, so I have not been able to correlate them.
