Craft Audio CA1 (CRAFTAUDIO CA-1) Power Amp - looks like CAS-1 - Schematic wanted

This power amp looks kinda like Threshold's CAS-1 (from the face view) go to
Threshold Model CAS-1
and
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/152646-threshold-cas-1-a.html
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass...overview-schematic-collection-all-models.html

And the brand name sounds like Craaft Audio from Germany (the roof of the brand NOVA© resp.NOVACOUSTIC©).

SOLTON® :: aaCRAAFT®: Analog Amplifiers

From this NZLD brand, model "CA-1" (CA1) I want to have a schematic diagram.
Who can post this?
first four images shows this amp, the other attachments German's models of Craaft
Thank you very much

Hi Guys,

Just got my self one of these
tiefbassuebertr you have the CA1 'B' model which was the mkII
The original came out in 1981 and was Gary Morrison's first Audo project
My PCB'd are dated (c) 1986, I think this might have been a small update on original

I got it with (Unknown at time) issues with the powersupply
I was getting +45vdc on the +ve rail and -100vdc on the -ve
I traced it down to a bad 0v lead on the transformer
Now DC power is a steady +-72.4v

But I'm having issues with one channel
I think the -100v may have done some damage
Nothing obvious to the eye
This channel/PCB no matter where BIAS is set to the MODFETs stay cool as do the RCA1A11/1A10

Other channel/board looks in better shape, but still 29years old
The bias adjust here will heat up the MODFETs and RCA1A11/1010's

I don't have any speakers worthy of testing properly yet, rebuilding my audio empire from scratch.
The old 100w 4way car speakers are my test bed.
I've got a B&K Pro 10MC pre-amp coming (mkI version with only volume/balance and source)

I get sound from both channels, very pleasing on the ears, great channel separation so giving me hope to restore this oldy
Just not sure if its worth it, the 2SK134/2SJ49 pairs are going to hard to replace if needed as no doubt the RCA1A11/1A10 pair also

Anyway, if someone has a Circuit diagram for one of these, that would help a whole heap.
And any helpful advice wouldn't go astray

.....Just not sure if its worth it, the 2SK134/2SJ49 pairs are going to hard to replace if needed as no doubt the RCA1A11/1A10 pair also....

Profusion PLC (UK & Europe) have been marketing their Exicon branded TO3 replacement for these LATFETs and the higher rated 2SK135/J150 pair, for decades now: Lateral MOSFET
Farnell/Element 14 also market the OEM ALFET branded versions: TT electronics Semelab Limited - Magnatec Lateral MOSFETs for Audio

Google brings up several existing threads about these TO3 types and other LATFETs here on DIYaudio.

Cool, I'm thinking the MOSFETs should be OK, there is sound coming from the unit
Just the BIAS and offset measuring is jumping about all over the placr.
