Kenwood L-09M Service Manual?

Hi, due to a stupid accident, I am now searching high and low for a service manual for one of my Kenwood L-09M. Any help is very appreciated. Found a tech on the vintage knob who claims that he has one in pdf, but for some reason I can not register there. My apologies for the moaning, but I got a dark cloud following me due to this self-made incident. So, check your connections twice, three times, before powering up... Best, diamo.

Just out of curiosity, what is wrong with it?

I had one of these for years (couldn't afford to replace it)--one of the most horrible sounding amps ever. I was not lucky enough to have it die on its own.

Right channel speaker wire touched each other, amp screamed, then went quiet, so did I.

Possible shorted output transistors.....is your speaker blown too?

Thanks Hifigeek, told the tech to check out the output transistors. Yesterday, I worked up the nerve to verify the speaker, and no, I was lucky (there), it survived! One would think that the speaker elements and/or the cross-over has taken some kind of beating?
