Good morning,

I couldn't recall if XAM was a house brand for Sam Goody record stores,
or E.J.Korvette's. Looking on E-bay, it was a house brand for
Korvette's. I once heard a story that "XAM" was "MAX" spelled
backwards, and the MAX was the owner's (of Korvette's) dog. I've no
idea if there is any truth to it.

Regards,
Tim

P.S. You'll find some XAM products listed on e-bay.

I just picked up a XAM model 200 amplifier. It was cheap, and I thought
it would be a nice small and simple amp for computer speakers. It's
nothing fancy, just a basic amp with bass, treble, balance and volume
controls, and input for tuner (aux) or phono. Probably outputs around 15
W per channel. (plenty for some bookshelf speakers connected to a
computer or MP3 player).

It works fine, and sounds good. It is solid state and has a nice solid
chassis and alum front panel. It says made in Taiwan on the back.
Actually, it did not work when I got it. In fact it was dead. But the
fuse holder was loose, and when I opened it, the wire was broke off the
fuse holder. A bit of solder fixed that, and I tightended the fuse hldr.
A quick and simple repair. (I put a little pure silicone caulk on the
fuse hldr nut to keep it tight).

It appears to be from the late 60s or early 70s.
Possibly sold by Olson electronics (I remember that store).

Anyhow, all I can find is one discussion group website:

I dont really need a schematic at the moment, but I like to have one for
all electronic stuff I own.

As usual, Google is not cooperating. Giving me schematics for everything
except what I am looking for.....

Do any of you know a better way to locate this schematic?

Thanks
