Great job!
I have just restored an old, abused PC2602M myself. And have also been searching for bias-settings....
I looked thru a handfull of other Yamaha service-manuals, like
PC2002M = 11mV, P2700/P2350 = 15mV, P3500/P2500 = 15mV, MX-1000 = 10mV, M-85 = 15,5mV ....
So I tried some more - Idling at ~ 20mV, the fan would start a couple of times a day, and everything run quite hot to the feel.
(Near "class A"-hot).
Backing off to "Yamaha-typical" 15mV is still hot, but have not heard/seen fan-operation yet, on normal home-use.
