Actually, nothing about you, but this part bothers me about much modern gear. So few things come with full schematics or calibration manuals. I was blown away when I bought my Eventide 910s and they came with amazing manuals that showed how to do everything right down to schematics and drawings of how the PLLs work!

Good gear shouldn't need MUCH surgery (well except consoles and tape machines), but when it does I wish the standard manual told a little more like they used to! It's part of the reason I hate some many Uber-Digital pieces of gear. They either aren't fixable by someone that isn't trained by that company, or even if they were they don't give the manuals to do so! I have had to work trying to fix two drum machines over the past week without service manuals and its driving me up a wall!
