A few word before you scroll down to the manuals lists.
We love our analog Vintage Audio and other built-to-last electronics equipment
in an age of disposable products for a throw-away society. Given a choice, we
might sell the kids before our classic silver-faced Pioneer or Vintage Marantz,
Kenwood and Sansui gear. If you also value High Quality
manuals for your treasures, you found the right place.
It matters to us that you can actually read the service manuals and schematics
because poor quality technical documentation
literature and repair manuals are almost worse than none.
We are meticulous and give genuine best efforts to produce clean, well-constructed
manuals for you. A side-by-side comparison of our
reproduction manuals with those from other vendors will usually reveal an
overall better appearance, construction, and print quality. Sometimes strikingly
so. Many of our customers agree.
The vast majority of our manuals are Very Good to Excellent, but we refuse to
give a false impression that every item is. Instead, we provide a detailed
description with an individually assigned quality rating
"before" accepting payment. That includes those that are only fair
at best and the few that are lousy. We guarantee your satisfaction based upon
those descriptions. This time-consuming extra service on our part contributes
to complaints about quality running about one per 500-1000 sales. We are
different than most of our competitors who deal with quality complaints "after"
the sale.
If not already familiar with us, please check out
About Our Manuals and
Guaranteed Quality Ratings at least one time.
If you want multiple items, just let us know. We always combine shipping and usually
discount multiple item purchases. Check out our
other site sections with the menu across the top header area on all site pages. If you would like
to help us be here in the future for you, please consider telling your friends
and also sharing some links to our site in your discussion groups, blogs and web
sites.
