I have a dual disk drive 4040 that worked first time (well, after someone here helped me fix the power supply). I was somewhat surprised.
If you ever find those service manuals/literature, I'd love to see a copy (or even buy them off you if you're wanting to move them on).

If you really need a schematic, Howard W. Sams covered the 2 (USA) models of the CBM computers, and there is a slight possibility I may have OEM svc literature for the U.S. models still...maybe... That was 40+ years back.
Mostly they wanted us a board changers.
The highest failure item I ran across was the floppy drives failing.
