Obviously having schematic helps if you're doing a repair.
But the circuits are pretty straightforward, none of the parts I'm aware
of are painted over
and most are readily available. Frequently it's just a matter of
replacing a socketed op-amp
and maybe trimming some trimpots.
I would not call myself a competent tech, just a noodler with some
experience. I've done
some repairs & adjustments to my Serge over the years without any undue
trouble.
