Hi Andrew, unfortunately there is about 120 pages to the service manual but if there's a particular item you want, I'd be happy to email it to you.
BTW welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the welcome Steve!
I'm specifically interested on the playback and record electronics setup.
I have a PDF copy of the RS-1700 service manual, but of course it refers to the RS-1500 service manual for making these adjustements!
Can you believe purchasing the RS-1700 service manual and finding out that you now need to buy another one to actually work on your deck!?
Andrew
