As far as I can tell this is the basic form to the power amp - what class is
it? and in general terms the operational bounds of the biasing, a lot of
diodes? seem to be involved.
Equi-spaced font needed for this ASCII, maybe properties/mesage details or
copied into text handler with "Terminal ","Fixedsys" font or similar
(only 2 emitter resistors, on two central Tr and chokes in the other emitter
commoned connections, all left out in the below )

Looks like a lot of amps I see these days. Don't know for sure the "class"
but I suspect it's pretty conventional AB.

Those outputs are Darlington, by the way, so obviously there's an additional
1.2 volts to be accounted for in the biasing...

Assuming its rating at 200 watts into 4 Ohms is per (non stereo) channel ,
it does not seem right that all that current goes through 2 output TOP66
devices. I've not found any date so far, mixer section not looked at yet.
Does roundel stamp on the [cb with Japanese script on top and bottom
sections and 86 12 15 across the middle mean 1986?

The B1647 and C2560 are pretty high-rated devices. 200 into 4 ohms doesn't
seem _too_ over rated to me.

I commonly see them in consumer audio in their higher end model surround
receivers, that is the ones rated over the standard 100 per channel, more
like 120 into 8 ohms. So as I say, 200 doesn't seem too far off, perhaps
just a bit of a stretch.

All power devices share the same h/s 6 of these per ch, bridge rect,
7815,7915 no special treatment for those final 2 per ch. No fan assist,
large convection area out rear only. Get into the mixer later for 7 more
problems in there, so probably will find a more reliable date
