Anyone by any chance got schematics for an Arcam Alpha 10 amplifier ?

TIA

Not motorized function sw prob I hope.



No, it's not. But why do you ask, I wonder ? I did one of those on an
Alpha
9 just yesterday. It was no particular problem, as has been the case with
a
few I've done in the past.

Too much back-torque with all those multiway wafers - stripped plastic
gearbox cogs - indexing/alignment problems


Funny,

I've done DOZENS of those Alps switches. They must be taken apart and
cleaned, as spraying them does not seem to last, but I've never had a
stripped gear drive.

P.S. These switches were used in the Arcam Delta 290, Xeta 1 and Alpha
9 integrated amps, along with the Creek 5350 and some Yamaha products.
I'd guess along with many others I don't know about.
