A few schematics for common items such as the C128 and CBM drives are included for your convenience.

C116 computer

C128 computer
C128DCR computer, USA version (metal case), internal 1571, internal power supply.

1541 (aka 1540) disk drive, 5.25", early version, long board (example: 1540008), Alps (push down) mechanism
1541 disk drive, 5.25", (boards 1540049, 50, etc.), mostly Alps mechanism.
1541 (aka 1542) disk drive, 5.25", later version, (boards 251777, 251830, etc.), mostly Newtronics mechanism.
1541C (aka 1541B) disk drive, 5.25", short board, Newtronics mechanism.
1541-II disk drive, 5.25", external power supply.
1571 5.25" disk drive, double sided, GCR and MFM encoding, internal power supply.
1581 3.5" disk drive, double sided, MFM encoding, external power supply.
FSD-1 single 5.25" floppy drive (1541 clone), internal power supply. I don't have schematic.
MSD-SD1 (single) and SD2 (dual) 5.25" single sided floppy drive, internal power supply.

1700/1750/1764 RAM Expansion unit. This CBM manual includes schematics, tech notes and jumper settings.

1701 monitor - NTSC - (JVC chassis, like the 1702 but with large, heavy power transformer)
1702 monitor - NTSC - hand-drawn schematic of JVC CM42782-001 (chassis different than the 1701).

1802 monitor - NTSC (Daewoo CM-120)
1802-clone monitor - NTSC (Goldstar CMC-141-1)

1080 Toshiba monitor (don't have schematic, but my notes may help in troubleshooting) .

1084 PAL1 monitor - European PAL and RGBI, with SCART connector
1084 PAL2 monitor - another European PAL and RGBI, with SCART connector, Philips CM8833 chassis.
1084P (aka 1084S-P) monitor. Two similar chassis shown. NTSC and RGBI (USA version by Philips).
1084D and S-D monitor - NTSC video and RGBI (USA version made by Daewoo).

1902 (non-A) monitor (don't have schematic, but the CBM 2002 chassis is a close match for NTSC models).
1902A monitor - NTSC video and RGBI (USA version, similar to a 1084).

1950 monitor, VGA for IBM type PCs.

2002 monitor - NTSC video, digital and analog RGB for Amiga. (use this for the 1902 non-A versions).

Adaptor to allow 2364 (Kernal ROM in C64) to be read as a standard 2764 in an EPROM burner.
Adaptor to allow 28 pin standard 2764 EPROM to fit a 24 pin PROM socket such as the Kernal in a C64.
Adaptor to allow a 27128 EPROM to fit in C64 Kernal socket. Includes a switch to change "banks".
Adaptor to allow a 27256 EPROM to fit in C128 Kernal socket. Includes a switch to change "banks".
Adaptor to allow a 27512 EPROM to fit in a C128DCR Kernal socket. Includes switch to change "banks".
