[sdiy] service info, was Monotron Schematic

[dragons]

Hi,
I think that the situation with service info has always been that it 
depends on the manufacturer. when I used to work for one of the music 
shops in the early 1980's some of the service info was only available as 
the shop was agents for the company concerned.
this certainly applied to Sequential Circuits.
I seem to remember that they got some service info from Ensoniq in the 
usa and then when they tried to get some more info for another product 
were told that it would not  be released, as they had appointed someone 
else as uk agents !
presently both Roland and Yamaha may let you have service info if you 
are a repair person but not make it generally available.same applies to 
Marshall amplification.
I agree that some of the manuals from the late 1980's early 1990's 
aren't easy to follow.

regards Peter

P.S pleased that Korg have made the Monotron schematic available.
