Schematic Diagram For Akai AM-26

[annaconda]

Does anyone know where to get a schematic diagram for an Akai AM-26 Stereo Integrated Amplifier?

Not to be confused with the AM-2600.

I think the AM-26 was made in the 1980's or 90's

Contacting Akai Professional and exhaustive internet searches have not been successful.

Welcome to the WHF forum!

The usual place I go is Hifi Engine, but as you’ve probably discovered, they have the AM-25 and 27, but not the 26. Are either similar, because it’s rare these updates herald huge changes?

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at the 25 and 27 to see if they're similar.
It's really weird, I've hunter the internet and it's as if Akai never made the AM-26. No tech stuff at all. Links to AM-26 take you to AM-2600. D'Oh!

Ah! I've got a problem. I tried to register on the HiFi Engine site but it's not accepting new members! Can you or anyone else get the service manuals for the AM-25 & 27? Dropbox or something similar to download them? I would be most grateful.
Cheers

Is there a fault?
On one channel only?

Yes, Just one channel works. I thought I'd tinker with it for fun. Not done amp faults in years. I bought a mini oscilloscope and will use a signal generator on my phone. amateurish, I know, but I need to find things to keep my brain ticking over.

Just one channel works.

Ideal.
All the voltage readings, signal inject and trace points you need for comparison on the working channel.
You're as good as repaired - without the need for a diagram 👍

Cheers for all the help.

Not that this will help your situation, but what I have done is download the service manuals for my older equipment .

As a precaution I recommend others do the same, as a just-in-case things go faulty later.
