I have an acoustic vocal combo amp in for repair. Ive tried emailing the manufacturer for a schematic, so far the reply is 'we dont give out schematics for equipment thats still in production' .
He's now forwarding my query to my local supplier , I did contact this guy before regarding the same brand of equipment,was offered a replacement main board at a about 2/3 the cost of the amplifier brand new ,but no service documents.
Im just wondering is there any legal requirement for manufacturers to hand over service details ,schematics etc.
Until I find out if the issue can be resolved I wont mention the brand ,but if its unresolved Im taking off the gloves on this one.
Not only that but im my workshop over the years I've recomended and fitted litterally hundreds of this companies on board acoustic preamps .
Ive heard before that manufacturers had a duty under law in the EU to provide proper service documentation.
Be great if anyone has a clue on the legal side of things ,
Cheers,
