Klyne Audio Arts SK-5 Manual

Hi,
Relatively new here, I just came into possession of a Klyne SK-5 preamp. It is in amazing condition for its age (1984) and is a very welcome addition to my system.

The unit did not come with a manual and I am having a very difficult time locating one. The phono stage requires the correct setting of 2 banks of 10 (for each channel) dip switches for load impedance/capacitance. Without the manual, I am having trouble setting up the phono stage correctly (too many combinations, without a guide to the dip switch settings.

if anyone has a manual (an extensive web search turned up empty) calls and emails to Klyne go unanswered and their website is minimal at best. I am willing to compensate anyone who has this manual or chart to set the dip switches, for their time and efforts.

Thank you for taking the time to review my post...

Thanks ~ Ron,
i did eventually find a manual for the SK-5 from a local (Buffalo) owner I met at an audio shop. If anyone else need one, let me know and I can scan/email to you.

not sure about Klyne Audio Arts, as you mentioned calls and emails go un-answered. I heard a rumor Stan Klyne was ill, again just a word of mouth rumor so take that for what it's worth.

Thanks again for your offer to help!

Hi from Italy,
I have a klyne 7lx line preamplifier with one of the music module that is not working and since it is sealed no one can fix it. Has anyone been able to get in touch with Klyne? My emails have not been answered, I think they are definitively out of business. I probably will have to sell it for spares, pity!!
Thanks

If someone is interested...an old tech here in Italy fixed it! He built two circuits (one for each channel) “replicating” what the broken music  module was supposed to do, obviously we don’t know what was in there because it is basically unbreakable (next time I’ll try to avoid any potted mysterious thing). It now works well, it is certainly unsellable but I’ll use it during the summer to replace a tube Audio Research :)...
I now have a very rare working Klyne music module for spare...I should try to auction it...:)))
