Realistic SA 100C, TM 100 restoration

So that I can try to help scootsity5 in another thread http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=6236901#post6236901
I took the top off my SA-100B. Even more differences between the B and C than I thought:

I'm pretty sure I didn't, the amp played fine after the restoration. I poked around last night for just such things anyway but didn't see any. I'll take a second look around tonight.

I don't know if you have the schematic for the SA-100C but if you don't, here it is:

And for that TM 100, just in case:

I don't think so, the unit powers on and shows life. I looked inside briefly before bed and it all looks fine. No blown fuse, caps or resistors. Or at least, none that I could see.

Maybe I'll have a chance to take some measurements tonight.

How did you make out with the amp?
I just picked up one of these and the matching tuner.
 
Damn, just found this thread and read it all the way through, and.......bzzzzt. Nothing. I found it interesting because I also inherited my Grandfather's SA-101 and plan to do the same tune-up as the OP did here. Also considering picking up an SA-102 to keep it company. I hope this picks up again soon!
 
Yes, I was hoping it would go further as well (I have instant notification turned on when someone responds). Mine needs a lot of work as well. It will never be one of the top integrateds of all time but it does make a very good sounding headphone amp.

This evening is more listening time. I've moved the setup to my main space for some more comfortable and slightly more critical listening. They are in a finished basement with much more room to breath. I'm still being suprised by this little amp.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but Ive never seen a Beolab 5000 in action before! Très haute artistique!
