A great copy of the manual, and the only one I could find anywhere on the net! The circuit diagrams are easily readable, all component values marked and easy to see. A highly appreciated download!
The TEAC A-1500's Service Manual was instrumental in reviving this classic reel-to-reel. Not only does it have the schematics, exploded parts diagram and parts list, it also provided mechanical adjustment information that approximate factory default settings.

[Dynamic Convergence Adjustment] 1. Minimize the vertical misconvergence in the left-most end of the center of a screen and in the right-most end of the center of a screen by adjusting the DY correction reactor XCV as shown in Fig. 1-15. 2. Minimize the vertical misconvergence in the top of a screen and in the bottom of a screen by adjusting the DY correction reactor YCH as shown in Fig. 1-15. 3. Minimize the vertical misconvergence in the top of a screen and in the bottom of a screen by adjusting the DY correction reactor TLV as shown in Fig. 1-15. 4. Minimize the vertical misconvergence in the left-most end of the center of a screen and in the right-most end of the center of a screen by adjusting the DY correction reactor TLH as shown in Fig. 1-15.

[G2 Adjustment] 1. Connect the 480/60i entire black signal to the ANALOG Y/G input connector. 2. Connect an oscilloscope probe one after another to the C board R-cathode (TP701), G-cathode (TP702) then B-cathode (TP703) to measure the DC voltage at their respective pedestal portion. 3. Connect an oscilloscope to the cathode whose DC voltage of the respective pedestal portion has the highest DC voltage. 4. Adjust RV702 on the C board so that the DC voltage of the respective pedestal portion is 125 ± 3 V.
