Allied Receiver model 495?????

Tuner, preamp,power amp, and power supply are SX1500td, phono stage is SX-990, MPX board is SX-6000. That same MPX board was used in the early 990 and 1500, but the manuals available online only show the later board. If you need to work on it or align it, you need the 6000 manual.

Possible there is another of those early/late things with the phono board, I don't honestly know, but its the same one in the 990 for sure. The tuners and preamp are the same in both the 1500 and 990 too. Even the physical layout of the power amp board is the same, only real difference is the 1500 (and the 495) uses different output transistors and runs higher voltage for more output power.
