Most of these I just rely on the sides being simmilar or mirror imaged, 
Schematics were hard to get unless you did warranty. Their are a few sellers 
online of schematics that list it (google search). rebuilding these things a 
second time is often worse than the first.

I had rebuilt it already about one month ago and it seemed to work well but
when he got it home he said only one side worked and when he went to "play"
with the speaker wires it went poof and all "***" broke loose. I suspect the
speakers are definitely at fault. They tell me that the unit has been in a
cabinet since new , even when moving they kept it in the same cabinet and
only removed it when they took it to me.I can't read the numbers on the TO
220 transistors toward the front.
