Hello Arran ,
Greg, aka Egg, found one for me and posted it on the ARF forum. This unit is being restored for a client, and I have an AM/FM Sony radio from the same era that I restored a few years ago, which still works great. Back when this unit was new, my repair shop was an authorized dealer and service center for Sony, so I still have many factory manuals and technical information, but I was missing this particular manual. I stopped being a dealer in the ’90s.
Anyway, my Mouser order just arrived, so the Pioneer amplifier will go back on the bench. Since I now have the new 4.7µF electrolytics and 1µF film capacitors, and only had two 4.7µF capacitors left in stock, I went ahead and ordered 100 more.
Sincerely Richard
