I'm looking for a schematic for a Polytone model 103 amplifier.
Search the Forum.
You'll find 2 versions: the all-discrete one and the LM391 driven.
Your amp should have one of those.

I am a new comer and cannot find this schematic, can someone help? Yikes! Polytone 103
Just out a curiosity and my own nostalgia, I think I had a 103 in college - or was it a 102? Is the 103 the one with one 12" and two 8"s speakers? A combo, kind of large, did about 100-120 watts. Is this the same one? Mine had a distortion circuit but I didn't care for it so much and used a BOSS OD - with that I could get some serious sounds out of it. Mine also had vibrato/tremolo like circuit. Am I thinking of the same amp? BTW, I'd be interested in the schematic too just for curiosity since I sold the amp back in 1983 to a buddy of mine.

The "numbers" varied according to speaker complement or size, but the circuit was *basically* the same:
