I've had good luck buying paper service manuals on ebay.

E34-13, eBay no help, been there. I forgot how these beasts start, there is a startup transistor to shoot a pulse to the FBT to get the secondary supplies running (IIRC that is how the set works). Was looking for the detailed troubleshooting guide that, again if memory serves, came along with the service manuals. Then again, I might be thinking of Sony - been 40 years since this stuff was new.

Thanks.
