EBS Taurus combo repair. Help needed.

[deBont Amps]

I came across a broken EBS Taurus combo a while ago (their first commercially available combo). I bought it with the intend to repair and restore it, but besides it being broken, it's actually missing several components. It's impossible to determine the values or types of these components. I can't find any service manuals, schematics, etc. The officiel importer, official EBS repair centre ánd EBS themselves are unable or unwilling to help. Is there anyone who has any insight or info? Schematics or photo's of the PCB would be fantastic. Or perhaps someone knows someone who knows someone .

I won't be of much help, but i remember when these amps first hit the scene here in Sweden. They pretty fast became known for two things: the weight and the unreliability. So at least around here they're usually very cheap if you can find one that works. EBS in my experience is normally very helpful with stuff like this though, but if not even they can or want to help it could be difficult to repair it.

EBS kindly responded this time around! With the proper documents now at hand, I can finally start the restoration. The initial problem was the SMD electrolytic capacitors that leaked and damaged various sections on the PCB. These have already been removed by someone else and some work has already been done. Which in this case is a bad thing. During the little time I've spend on it, I already spotted some wrong value capacitors and a PNP transistor that should be a NPN. If people are interested, I can post some updates here.
