Can an owner's manual and schematic be found for an Electron Kinetics eagle 7a power amp

Hi Guy’s, out there in Audiogon world! I just picked up an eagle 7a power amp, the guy that I got the amp from said it had been in storage for years and it was still in the shipping crate but no owner’s manual or schematic. can anybody tell me if this is a good amp or a waste of money for $300.00, I don’t know much about this power amp, but I would like to power a pair of Acoustats 6+6 I am willing to purchase a manual and schematic from anyone on the forum if that is possible. The strange thing about this amp is it don’t have a power switch. and are there any techs that can work on this amp, what things should be updated on this amp since it has been sitting in a crate. I had the guy plug it up and it played fine, does the a after 7 mean anything on this amp on the model number? I would feel comfortable having looked over and not after it goes up in smoke. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Jasonbourne71 and all the rest of you guys in audiogon world!! 

Thank you, guys, for all the advice about this amp, I will take you guys advice as it will be a task to find a tech that can do justice to this amp, as I look down this amp I do see two big cap's that are blue, would these be filter caps? and would these be the ones to change out to new cap's and match to the same spec's or better? if so I will try to find them.  I will not be leaving this monster on until it gets new caps.

Again Thank You guys!

Here is the link to the repair/upgrade service.  It appears to be quite old so no idea if Russ is still in business.  But it verifies what should be looked at.

FWIW a good number of the semiconductors have been hard to find for decades now. So its a good thing they aren't damaged in this amp. Just get the filter caps replaced and you should be good. Not a bad idea to check the bias as well.
