Madrigal Proceed PAV Schematics
Wow, thanks again. I will pass this info along. Unfortunately, without the schematics and electrical signal paths and values, the tech says it would be expensive were he to engage in trial and error, and he couldn't guarantee success. I'm going to... 
Madrigal Proceed PAV Schematics
A local shop is doing the work. Not retail, just a repair shop fixing hi-fi and musical instruments, who are attached to a practice studio. They have done good work for me in the past, and I trust them. 
Madrigal Proceed PAV Schematics
