Hi,
As many mfg's know that a schematic can help their equipment to hit the
stage again, some do not understand or only believe that "certified" and
hence usually expensive repair sites are the only ones able to repair these.
They believe that the customer is willing to pay and wait for ages to
get their stuff back.

Is the excuse "only components from a reliable source" the only reason?
"Reliable sources" are not really a problem.

Is it because "training of service technicians" is an excuse?
I know many so called "independent service technicians" who can compete
with many "certified" technicians in skill and equipment.

Is it the stock available from the "certified" service centers that is
the reason?
Why do we have to wait, and still are waiting, for example a common used
double emmitor resistor since December last year?
An opto coupler since 15 months (used another "non reliable source
component")

I have to congratulate some mfg's who in case it's needed send you the
missing component to make sure the correct ones are used.
They assist you in every way and like to have their equipment in working
order as fast and good as possible.
It's their name on the front of it.

But some...

I'm waiting for a few weeks now for a schematic of a VOX AD120VT combo.
It's been asked, again and again and again via different official
dealers but nothing helps.
The dealer itself is in problems now with the customer who can hardly
believe the story.

If any of you can help me out with a schematic many thanks.

Cheers,

Zilog

Just sent drawings of the -power amp-
section. I also have the entire pdf
manual of the AD60VT. The preamp
and "ones & zeros" circuitry should
be the same on both models. Maybe
that would help.......?
Can you receive a 5MB file?
