This is exactly the service manual I needed.
Complete with all schematics, partslists, PCB layouts and alignment instructions.
This manual covers both the T-4970 en T-488F Onkyo tuner.
Wanting to repair a neighbours tape recorder I needed the necessary information, it makes it easier. Although the service manual is described as "Language : English" To my dismay I found that it is entirely written in German, a language I do not understand. At least I now have the schematics which will help of sorts. I may not use this service again due to the laguage difficulty after all when it states English you do not expect it to be entirely in another language.
