Cary told me they don't have one and send a few sketches that are very incomplete
Follow Ups:
You posted the schematics Cary gave you on diyAudio. They lack voltages, but they look good enough for any competent technician.
I am more than competent, I could take the time to map out the whole amplifier, figure out the differences between what they sent and what the amp actually is because they are not the same, and I could do the math and calculate the voltages. However, with schematics like one typically finds in in a service manual, it would be much easier. That is why I asked if anybody had a set.
I never understood why people feel the need to respond when they have nothing worthwhile to offer
Just to respond

OK, I'm happy to help. This thread gave the impression that Cary didn't care about their legacy products. That's not a good impression for a manufacturer. But it turns out that Cary did respond with a schematic that any competent technician could use to trouble shoot their amplifier.
Have you ever searched the forums for information in rare or unusual tubes? Have you ever searched the forums for difficult to find schematics? I do this all the time and some of the information I find is a decade or two old. So someday someone may need a schematic for a Cary 211M. Searching this forum they would be discouraged to see that Cary didn't support their product. Now they will find the schematic. So this is not all about you and your needs. Why not leave something useful for the next guy?
point taken on passing things along, but your repeated inferences that I am not competent are unfounded, unnecessary, and unwelcome.The schematics I have are dated 1999 whereas the Anniversary Edition of the amp was introduced around 2004. According to a review on line, the designer states that the AE edition is much different than the older models. Parts of the amplifier are burned beyond recognition. These parts are not shown on the schematics they sent and the schematics do not match the amplifier I have. As a competent technician, I therefore need to look elsewhere because what they sent me is of limited use to me or any other "competent technician."
Good day

Probably very similar to the CAD 805 but 211 only.
Why do you need one? Do they still look like spaghetti underneath?
I want one because I have several that smoked some components.
Did Cary offer to service it if you send it in? Just wondering if they've totally abandoned this model. Seems incredible they wouldn't have a schematic for an expensive product like this.
My best friend used to be marketing director at Cary back in the day and I can state as a fact that they did not have schematics for any of their tube amps. None. The women who assembled the amps did it by rote. I guess Dennis thought his designs were some super top secret shit.

I have one for an 805,might be similar
If I were bwbosler, I'd be looking for a competent tech who could reverse engineer the amp(s) for me, if he isn't capable of doing it himself.
That's a hell of a way to run a railroad.
I can and I suppose I will end up doing it, I would just rather avoid it
