I will check tonight, but as I recall some of the schematics I have for the K250s are dated early in 1971.
This would mean that Baldwin purchased the company before the date on these schematics.
As far as problems go with the A serise amps I would love to know if these where fully manufactruing problems, or if something like feild repairs from blown output stages where in high numbers.
I always found it odd that the A serise went to the slow acting circiut breakers.
I would be willing to bet that many a blown output was made to smoke and have greater damage from the amps owner re-setting the breaker(s) and kicking the amp back on again!
A soldered in fuse will not let you do that so easy.
