Pioneer TX8500II manual

[zener]

I've just added to my growing Tuner collection , I need a copy of the manual for the TX8500II, anyone got one. I need to do a little work on it and the schematic would be useful.cheers ...Jon

One of these just sold on ebay with what looks like the instructions and schematics - would it be worth emailing the top bidder and asking if they could take a copy?

A wide variety of Pioneer manuals can be found here. You need to join AK to get at 'em though....

just plugged it in to my crap feed via Virgin , formerly NTL , and its sounding wonderful. I do love Radio

Nothing forthcoming from any where so far . I've opened it up and its a piece of cake to get at the circuit board. I need to replace two blown bulbs , one for "wide" and one for "stereo" , then I'll start on the electrolytics , which are probably way past their best. My it does sound nice.

If it sounds so nice, why fiddle with it?

I was thinking that myself , but to be honest , one of those electrolytics is bound to fail soon as its 30 years old and while I've got it open I may aswell give it a service.
