What makes this especially fascinating for enthusiasts is that the (e.g., 2SA798 dual transistor for the input stage), along with their voltage and waveform readings at test points. This is rare for a consumer integrated amplifier manual from the 1980s, and it effectively turns the document into a repair guide for technicians and DIY restorers today.
