Need a schematic for CAT SL1 Mark 3, or just a picture of the insides of unit


Here's my problem. I attempted to have this unit serviced by a local repairman. It was a small issue (the mute switch snapped off) and CAT wants a flat fee of $1500 plus ship to take care of the repair. That seemed like a nonstarter. The local repairman messed it up and now I need to take it to another repairman. The problem is that the first repairman failed to take a picture of the interior of my CAT before he started work, and the second repairman really wants a picture of what the original wiring looked like. I have no such photo. Does anyone out there who has the same preamp have a picture of its guts that you can send to me? It would be a great help. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can search Convergent Audio Technology SL1 preamp schematic. You will get pictures.

For some reason Ken does not offer a schematic for his products. When i owned a ARC amp, it came with a schematic as part of the instruction manual. To me, this made a lot of sense. BUT I guess Ken has his reasons...and they will make it a lot more difficult/costly for owners once he has ceased his business, unless he deems it worthy to supply a schematic before that time comes.
