MCS 3245 q-u-e-s-t-i-o-n-s-?

I have the 3245-10. Still can't read the scematic, like the one I have. Paid 29$ for it too :( Thank you
I can do better next time I'm at the shop. Those were just some quick pics I took one day so I wouldn't have to take the book home. I have a new camera and will get it laid out flat this time or scan it. I'll post when available.
 
Well hopefully everyone is still up and kicking on this thread! Some seriously good knowledge here! I just bought a mcs 3245 that was serviced. 0 issues for 200. I also bought from him 2 sansui sp1700's in great shape, need 2 more. Thanks for a great thread!
 
Here's my new ta me MCS. One day I will have the funds to get a big boy vintage radio.

The 3233 and 3235 are basically the same. The heatsink is better than it looks. It uses the whole chassis as a heatsink. It's a good idea to reapply the thermal grease between the heatsink and the chassis. The 3245 is a different type of amp design and uses a bigger finned aluminum heatsink.
The first pic is a 3235 and the second is a 3245.
I have a mcs 3245 I am working on right now and I was wondering if there is any place where the pcb board layout could be found as I am tracing a short somewhere in the main amp and some of the component labels have gunk on them making them hard to read.
