Hi all,
I took a gamble on this rare V-FET beauty recently and I'm very happy I did! IMO it's beautiful looking and it sounds absolutely superb.
It was sold with the caution that a tech believed at least 2 of the 4 NEC 2SK70A's were blown and it's missing the serving tray handles so as such I got it for cheap; I figured worst case is I could re-purpose it for spare parts. Turns out all of the O/P's are fine and a tech in Japan had already recapped it excluding the mains.
Anyone have experience with this amp? I've searched and haven't found much of anything as far as the SM and Sch goes.

Try - Audiokarma website - there are more Techs worked on V FET stuff and can give you guidance. This is a rare item and i do not see much of this in Yahoo auctions ( japan) while yamaha / Sony are regular.
kannan_s thanks for your suggestion. Other than a few vague comments from AK's oilmaster who had 4 of them cross his door there's not a lot more there either, proving that the JM-S7 is truly a rare piece indeed!
