I have a realistic STA-36 stereo receiver. I am trying to locate a service guide, or just a schematic. I am trying to repair the unit I have. Any help is appreciated.

I couldn't find a free one, maybe there's a SAMS on it.

What kind of trouble does it have ? Maybe it can be done without a schematic. Many older analog receivers are similar in design, and you can usually get the pinouts on the ICs, specs on the transistors and all that.

Sorry for the delay, I have a garbled sounding right audio channel, and the AM won't tune (not a huge deal)

I should add I know it is not the speakers I swapped the left to right and the problem followed, it is on FM, and Aux, I presume phono (dont have a player to test with) and the AM is all static, but the right channel has a low sound compared to the left.

What kind of equipment do you have ? Got a DVM ?

I have a dvm, an analog meter, soldering iron etc.. I also have a app on my phone that can act as a signal generator, but I dont have a scope. I pretty much use it to run my ipod, or other music device through the aux, and it had been working great and sounded good until recently.

I appreciate your help by the way. Thank you.

I purchased this unit new in 1970. I just happen to have the original owners manual. The schematic is in the back cover.
