jd2009 0 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi, I am new to CARVER. Someone brought me a CARVER CM-1040. It does not work properly. I was looking for a Service Manual. Apparently it is very rare and cannot be found freely on the web or at the variety of manuals suppliers as a decent price. Maybe someone can help me to get me on board the CARVER family. Thanks a million (not dollars ) . JD2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,122 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Howdy jd2009 and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you on board. We have the CM-1090 service manual in our database. It's a higher power version of the CM-1040, probably with shared architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Admin AndrewJohn 7,223 Posted October 28, 2017 Community Admin Share Posted October 28, 2017 Welcome JD2009 ! Share some pictures! Good luck on that integrated amp project. This is a good place to ask questions - although it is a rare late china-made (I think) model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,122 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I dug up photos of the CM-1040 and CM-1090 and it looks like they have very little in common. CM-1040 CM-1090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd2009 0 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 hi, Thanks everybody,. yes. I was also hoping that the CARVER CM-1090 would have some resemblance to the CARVER CM-1040 and CARVER CM-1065. Unfortunately they are not. I will try my luck at ebay. Maybe I convince one manual holder to send me a scan instead of buying the shipping the original manual which I don’t really need … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbini 6,122 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 If you wind up purchasing the CM-1040 service manual please consider donating a copy to our library. THANKS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertR 847 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The 1090 looks like an HR-752 with it's tuner subtracted, and meters instead of the fl display. The 1040 looks more like a TFM-15 with a preamp added, and a display instead of meters. Neither looks Chinese to me. RR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Admin AndrewJohn 7,223 Posted October 29, 2017 Community Admin Share Posted October 29, 2017 Neither looks Chinese to me. RR Good call, Robert. I don't recall where I heard or read that the CM line, (1040, 1065, 1090) were made in China. There's a review here (LINK) that says the 1090 was made in China. Online images of the 1090 back-panel show "Made in Japan." And, the rare few images of 1065 and 1040 models don't seem to have a "Made in ___" label.

Turbo1 16 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I picked up a CM 1090 a few days ago . It says made in China on the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
