JVC 838 Balance Issue - Service Manual

Is there a public copy of the 838 service manual? I have the, apparently common, balance issue. Want to see the manual so I understand what i'm working with before I open her up and... first.... try to clean the pots.

If this doesn't work...hopefully I can figure out how to replace / restore the Bass, Treble, and/or Balance Slider. Thanks.

Have you checked the Boomboxery Library?

I found the manual on hifi engine. Thanks.

I also mentioned in an older post, that I was able to get most of the issues with the sliders / left speaker resolved with some deoxit!! I realize for many, this doesn't work and re-building the slides may become necessary, but it is surely worth a shot!

Good to hear!

Any top slider controls are always issue due to ease of access....
