HI Guys.
I'm in need of a schematic for this Solid state guitar amplifier.
Someone's been in here and really messed things up. Any help will be much appreciated!!
Maybe another ELK solid state schematic will be close enough if you're willing to share.
Thank you!

Like I said, there does not appear to be a schematic available for the Viking 103. I did a fairly extensive search, on line and other sources.
The thing is that the power amplifier and power supplies are normally the vulnerable parts of a guitar amplifier and luckily they are the simplest area too.
So as I have already asked DD what is the problem specifically with your guitar amplifier.
If you just want the schematic you will have to trace it out from the amplifier you have- that is what I would do.
A friend repairs musical electronic equipment, mostly guitar and bass amplifiers and the most common problem is a blown power amplifier stage. Quite often that also takes out the power supply as well.
He says he dreads working on equipment where someone has already had a go at fixing the problem. He says that inevitably they cause more damage than the original fault- lifted/cracked printed circuit traces is common.
In many cases, a repair is simply not economical. In other cases he replaces the original power amplifier with a complete modern power amplifier and inevitably the amplifier sounds better than the original and is far more reliable.
When I said that my friend replaces the complete power amplifier I was not referring to any integrated circuits necessarily. He replaces the complete amplifier electronics from the pre amplifier output to the speaker output with a complete amplifier board made from discrete parts.
