Luxman R-3030, R-3045, R-3055 tuning string diagram / picture wanted

[ikonw8]

Hello,

Does anyone have (or can take) some good pictures of the tuning string connections for the Luxman R-30xx? Unfortunately, the service manual does not provide a diagram.

See the pictures below in case anyone needs to do this job in the future. FYI - I may try it again to take some of the tension off the spring.

Also, the first picture was found online, the rest are from my 3030.

Is the R3030 worth $250? I am in Mexico and these are hard to come across.
Though, I like better Marantz and some models are found at the same price range.
I would love to know what kind of output transistors the R3030 uses, as this is a good indicator for build quality, given the build architechture I am used to owning a few Marantz already, and having lost a Luxman LV100 to overheating, the STK could not handle a few hours on.

What type of output transistors does this use? is it the crappy STK IC?

I have a 3045 and it does not use STK's. That first pic up there in post #4 is a 3045 or 55. I believe the 3030 also does not use STK's based on how that 3030 is layed out inside.

Way off topic of the title, but that was resolved years ago. Just answering a misplaced post.
2SD587 and 2SB617 are the outputs, no chip amp in the 1030.
2SC2665 and 2SA1135 are in the R3030 No power pack here either.

Is the R3030 worth $250?

This question must be asked in the Dollars and Sense forum.

If the price is a bit less than the 1040/1050 then it is probably about what they sell for in your area.
