Need Service Manual

Just an update. I spent Sunday afternoon working on the Sanyo. Someone had repaired the power supply sometime in the past. Interesting, there was a hole burnt through the board where the driver transistor for the 12 volt regulator sits.

Because it is so inaccessible, I went right over the power board. I still shudder whenever I find an electro with the name Sanyo on it. Anyway I checked as much as I could and replaced all the caps for which I had a replacement available.

The 12 volt regulator now works but now I can see there is much still to be done.

Does anyone remember repairing camcorders during the 90's ? Remember the smell of leaking surface-mounting electros ? Yes. The machine has that smell of fish.

I will have a look again on the weekend. I have plenty of time. I am working a four-day week because of the China Flu.

Thank you to Fivos for the scans.
