What Makes Our Manuals Better? |
Products |
|||||
We are first
and foremost, dedicated vintage audio enthusiasts and collectors. We
have nearly a quarter century experience repairing and restoring our own
gear in our collection. With this dedication and passion to the vintage
audio arena, we make sure that every manual we reproduce is as accurate
to the original as possible and that things like schematics are crystal
clear so you can actually complete the restoration of that prized piece.
Your manual is NOT reproduced by an $8.00 an hour person who only knows how to
hit the start button on a copier and with absolutely no
interest or understanding of the vintage audio collector and what they
want/need. We have the interest, dedication and technical know-how to
produce a high quality product to meet the desires/needs of the vintage
audio community.

Make sure and check our
products page where you are sure to
find manual's for that prized piece of vintage audio gear. NOTE: Did you know that we buy manuals too? That's right we do! So if you have manuals to sell or even "rent out" for a few days please contact us. ***Please, please make sure your e-mail programs will accept e-mails from me. If you don't, you will probably not get a response as it ends up in a spam folder or rejected altogether by your e-mail server. This gets to be frustrating and time consuming trying to figure out a way to get through to you. That time could be spent better answering other customers (or potential customers). Thank you for your attention to this matter. Do you buy, restore and resell vintage audio? Make sure to offer the owner's manual to go with it as this will surely increase it's value. We can even ship the manual directly to your customer. Also, we can provide the service manual to help you complete that restoration. ~~~Are you or do you know of a good repair facility in your area that works on vintage audio? If so, let me know and I'll add you to a master list that I can refer people to when they need a repair. I average a dozen or more requests for repair facility information each week so this could help drive business to your repair facility. Just give us a name, address, phone number and web address (if available) and we'll add you to the master list. Thanks! |

Here are Pics of a couple of
my personal systems, and a few helpers.
.
^- A couple of pieces I use for testing various equipment after repairs. NAD C340 integrated amp and C-520 CD Player. Doesn't get any more basic than these two pieces.
^- Some of my spare equipment (most fully restored and functional) from top to bottom: Pioneer PD-M500 CD Changer (faceplate removed), Pioneer ELITE PD-M900 CD Changer, Pioneer PD-M901 CD Changer, Nakamichi CDC-3A CD Changer. Also not pictured, Nakamichi TA-3A Receiver (protection circuit problem), Pioneer PD-F605 CD Changer, 2 Technics SL-P1200 DJ CD Players, etc....
One of our friendly neighborhood bucks chillin' \/
.
/\ Some wild turkeys on the front lawn .
/\- My faithful helper, Mr. Friskies hard at work.
^-- A doe with a couple of new fawn in the front yard.
Here is Mr. Friskies. Yes, he plays fetch with furry mice or his favorite fetch toy, a cheap AM loop antenna. I finally found a use for one of these things. :-) Our newest addition, a 4 wk old rescue, Gizmo, weighing in at 12 ounces. -------------------->
And once again, here is Mr. Friskies enjoying his daily vacuuming. He loves it and doesn't want it to stop once started. Sometimes he acts more like a dog than the cat he is supposed to be.
Yes, now Gizmo also loves to be vacuumed. They both take turns every day.
Yes, he is actually eating his peas. This little guy will eat almost anything, including greens. He is now 9 pounds, fit and trim. |

\/- Queen of the office, Suds, helping out. :-)
/\-Weighing in at 2 lbs 2 oz. now, Gizmo, the rescue is
already learning the ropes here in the office. UPDATE: Now he's 5 pounds
and loves American sliced cheese.
Here's the newest addition to our
collection of wildlife visitors, Forest the Brown Bear. He got into the
trash before we took it to the landfill transfer station. Fortunately,
he doesn't really like people so when he sees us, he makes a run for it,
hence his name. Run Forest, run... :-)
