Seriously; has ANYONE got the MG614 SERVICE manual?!?!?!

I was lucky enough, with the help of my number one brother in France, to get my grubby little mits of one of these bad boize.

However, alas, it has a couple of minor electrical faults. The Monitor switch section only allows me to monitor the left channel of the Master mix (probably just a dry joint/failed switch, right?) and there is also a slight distortion on the number 1 Effects Send.

The manual is pretty much unobtainium. VST in California, USA were selling copies on eBay a couple of years ago, so they ARE out there somewhere! But there's nowt on the web now. I even phoned Akai support and all they had was the user manual.

If anyone has one, PLEASE help me out so I can track down the faults and have a perfect functioning MG614!!!

Thanking you in advance.

Maybe you should contact VST directly and get them to print one for you?

Tried that, brother. They said they don't have any hard copies left and won't sell me a PDF.

That's retarded as they clearly print these as is, so why not. And funny enough, I found one locally for $100 that has issues and thought it would not be worth it unless I had a manual to go by.

Following. Did u got the manual?
Lookin for one too

Cheers

(I thought bumping an old one is better then opening a new one..)

you might be able to get it from someone on this facebook group because it seems a lot of these guys have that machine:
