Need Help Locating Schematics for Bedini 100/100
Having pulled it apart enough to take some readings and apparently the caps are shot or at least one is so replacements need to be located. After a half dozen email to distributors and mind numbing searches through data bases I have yet to find a ...

Problem with Ref 5SE
BTW, anyone know of a ARC authorised service shop local  in NY?

New Amps Arrived...
Jeeter,Sorry, it was early when I wrote that, was probable one one cup awake. The bass response from the amps is I feel better than the ML. My replacement amp after the ML died and before I got the Pass did not have much in that area so the differ... 
New Amps Arrived...
Pass and the dealer recommended I stay with supplied power cords and NOT to put on a power conditioner. The reasoning seem sound, as the amps were voiced using it that was. I did go against their advice by upgrading the power cables but might swap...
