AT used to have schematics for all their products on the datasheets. They
were simplified schematics, but still very useful for repair. That stopped
in the early nineties, and now there is little service info available.
But I bet they will sell you a replacement capsule for the 2050 for a
reasonable price.

I just tried A-T's website and get a 503 error (page not available).
Perhaps they're done?
