Arcam Alpha 5 cd schematics and mods wanted

Chivvyp · 14th March 2010, 12:53 PM

Hi,

Picked up one of these recently, broken gearwheel but otherwise very clean.

I plan to do some mods so I'd be grateful if anyone could let me have a copy of a service manual or schematics.

I know the generic mods for TDA1541A machines from playing with old philips players but are there any good mods specific to this player?

Any suggestions welcome

Pete

Have you asked Arcam for the circuit diagram ?

They sent me an email copy for one of their amps.

Hi Andy,

I have done now!

Got an auto-reply from Arcam to say they'd received my mail but no response since.

Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way.

Regards

Pete
