Does anyone have a schematic for a Luxman SQ38D? I mostly require
info on the tone amp section. The one I have has been modified and
I need to restore it to standard.
** The " SQ38D" was released in Japan in 1965 - do you really have
one of them ?
**I REALLY do have one of them. In pristine nick too. This being the
beastie in question:

** Where do you get 6RA8 output triodes these days ??
Luxman schems were always near impossible to obtain - certainly so
here in Australia.
**Some were. I have a half a filing cabinet drawer full. Mostly solid
state though. A legacy of being a major service agent for the product
from 1980 'till Interdyn let go of the product.
** Luxman was sold and supported by L&G Hoskins in NSW through the 70s and
80s. They also sold Alpine cassette decks and Celestion speakers.
They adopted the name "Quality Hi-Fi" in 1976 and are still trading under
it.

I was alluding to them when I said schems were impossible to get - there
was more chance of getting blood from a stone than having Gordon Hoskins
part with a schematic for any of his products.
What a Neanderthal.
