Does anyone have a schematic or service manual for a Thorn Model 4034 and Model 4054 amplifier?
There does not seem to be anything on the internet for the amps, just T.V.'s and test equipment.

Thanks everyone.

Thorn did do a bit of "Badge Engineering" We had two Thorn colour TV's & the inside was Mitsubishi, from memory.

Yep, Thorn badge, AWA assembly line and Mitsubishi chassis. That applied to tellies but not sure about amplifiers. AWA did act as the agent for Denon a long time ago. Maybe there was some rebadging then, though Denon was considered a premium brand.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

I think the 4054 says 'Made In the Philipines' and has a cover made of wood, but the 4034 has no 'Made In' on it and a sheet steel cover.
