put finger to keyboard and composed:

In the meantime, could I trouble you to
post the URL of the manual you are looking at, just to make sure that
we
are
both looking at the same one.

It's the same one Don found:

Ah yes, OK. We are in fact looking at the same one. Unfortunately, what
is
shown in there on pages 11 and 14, is still nothing like what is actually

in
the unit itself. For instance, IC7 on that diagram, is a PIC. On the
'real
thing', IC7 is an 8 pin SIL opamp. And many other differences. I am
beginning to think that I am not going to get the correct diagram for

this.
I think as a next move, I will take the board out, and see if I can
follow
the tracking from where I know that there is signal present, to see if I

can
arrive at the first opamp, and figure what is going on. Beyond that, I'm

not
going to waste a lot more time on it. As I'm sure you know yourself,
there
comes a point when you have to make a decision based on commercial logic,
rather than a desire to be satisfied by fixing everything that gets
thrown
under your gaze ... :-\

I did some more searching a couple of nights ago and found these links
that
might be useful, perhaps not so much for this thread.
http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/STA...ian%20Monitor/
This one has a number of product schematics for a range of companies.

It seems that AM is still a busy brand....

http://www.australianmonitor.com.au/...250_manual.pdf
http://www.audiotelex.com.au/_upload...Spec_Sheet.pdf

I also found these two comments in an old repair forum:
"On the Australian Monitor site are a number of schematics, but not the
KA-1500 - I emailed them and told them that I am a repairer and got the
service manual in pdf form immediately - thanks AM."

"Unlike the other guy in this thread i havenīt had the luck of recieving a
schematic for the AM1200 even though iīve written Australian Monitor a
mail
for it."

Maybe a message to their tech support about variants of the model may
elicit
a useful response?

Worth a try perhaps. I'll see if I can get a number off the board, and see
if they are able (willing?) to supply the appropriate schematic. Thanks all
for the efforts anyway.
