I got my hands on a Superlux R102 for dirt-cheap the other week (30e ;D ), and i figured i'd do a teardown and lift the schematic, for a blog post.
The thing works fine, but... One thing that struck me was that the ribbon didn't look quite as corrugated as i would've expected, and it's not anywhere near "straight" - see attached photo.
Is this anywhere near normal?
[Later edit] Well, it doesn't look quite as loose in the photo on RecordingHacks. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me...

For what it's worth, further details can be found right over here
