Alas, my search is back on again for a service manual (not the instruction manual, which does have some technical info, but is not comprehensive) for the Icom IC-471A. I do have the instruction manual, as well as a schematic. Thanks again to all who helped previously, and thanks in advance for anyone who can help put me back on the trail.

Rich, I'm hoping this is wrong, but I was talking with another ham who had lots of Icom stuff and he said that there never was a service manual for the 471--something about Icom running out of time, etc, and that the 271 would be a general guide to the 471.
I've collected just about all the service manuals for all my Icom gear plus that of friends, and I have never seen 471 service stuff. Ever since hearing the bad news I've idly looked about.
Perhaps you can prove this wrong in your further searches. If you do find it, please let folks know.
