Hello TIM

some days ago an AK member explain why you will not find any SM for Accuphase units :

Big issues. You're dealing with Accuphase and their attitude. Owner's manual you might call them and see if you can buy one or they'll send you one. The Service Manual, the schematics, you won't get from Accuphase. Nor will they sell you spare parts, they expect you to send the unit to them in the country you bought it from or the original owner bought it from for service. Best of luck. KentTeffeteller

what is the issue in your preamplifier ?

Hey

Thanks for your reply

I know how Accuphase operates but someone offered me an Accuphase C270 to purchase here in Australia but it was not originally purchased here and it has been converted from 100v to 240v.

I thought I would post the question becuse I have seen various accuphase service manuals being shared around.

I don't really want to purchase the C270 unless I can find a service manual just in case I need it in the future.

The problem with them is : a service manual will not help you at all to buy original spares parts . Except if you can give it to an official service station . In this case a service manual will not be helpfull at all for you .
Accuphase is sometime using really specific components and trying to refix it your self is not a good idea at all and I will not recommend you to use other (non original selected components) to take the risk to be unsuccessfull and having a unit who never works again .
If you want to buy a service manual ask your distributor in your contry but I am not sure that he will sale you one !
Ask , who knows ...?

if you really need a service manual, I found a C200. I don't know if it is close but it might be better than nothing. But as @clinic-audio states above, there will be a risk.
