Do Allens even have the value and voltage on the capacitors, or are those private label also? I've pitched out TV's that had every part a nine digit number, totally inscrutable. You can't even tell the blown up ceramic capacitors from the resistors without a schematic anymore.
Man what is up with Allen's not wanting people to fix their organs? I used to do potting for my dad's company- where you pour a rubberized, or plasticized compound on the PC boards and it makes the circuits untraceable by competitors. However the purpose for this potting was not so much for circuit theft protection as it was for vibration protection. Many of these circuits were used underground and in high humid conditions. It's pretty amazing how analog electronics can endure when encased in epoxy, but then to be shaken and gotten wet on top of it, that's amazing.

It would be a bummer to have an organ apart that you can't even fix. I'm of the opinion that if you buy an organ you should get complete service manuals with it upon request. So am I correct in understanding Allen didn't even offer service info to a customer who wanted to do their own repairs?
