Need info: Yamaha SB-200 modular board

[mmar]

Hi!

A guitarist friend of mine recently acquired a second-hand, pre-historic looking Yamaha SB-200 Professional System Board.

It looks like this one, but with less pedals.

It's a modular system, pedals can be put in at will, they use a special internal connector for power and signal, there's a patch panel for alternate or external routing of the signal and it's very sturdy looking.

Does anyone have any info on this? A user manual would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I picked up one of these about 6 months ago, along with a 1985 Fender Twin, 1979 Peavey T60 and 1992 (USA) Strat - all in as new condition. Picked the lot up for $1000 from an old fella who had it all sitting in his shed for years.

I don't know what to make of the SB200, it's without a doubt very robust. It came with a bunch of mini manuals for each pedal but no overall user manual, which is frustrating because I have no idea what that patch bay is for.
I'm "that" far away from tearing it down and modifying it to house a bunch of my own pedals.

I've googled a number of times for a manual, but no luck.

If anyone's got one, I'd love a copy (Willing to pay)
