We love our Vintage Audio and other built-to-last electronics equipment in an age of disposable products for a throw-away society. We might sell the kids before our classic silver Pioneer or Vintage Marantz, Kenwood and Sansui gear. If you also value High Quality Manuals that enhance the ownership satisfaction of your vintage audio treasures, you found the right place. (continued below...)

Fostex Service Manuals User Manuals Printed Reproductions |
(... continued) 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 many other vendors will usually reveal an overall better appearance, construction, and print quality. Sometimes strikingly so. Our Customer Comments page is a fraction of what we receive from real customers and electronics technicians.
The vast majority of our printed reproduction manuals are Very Good to Excellent on our Guaranteed Quality Ratings scale. But every single item is not and we refuse to give a false impression that they are. We want you to see a detailed description and individually-assigned quality rating before you purchase. This time-consuming extra service is almost never provided by our competitors. Customer complaints are nearly zero, perhaps one per 500-1000 sales. We believe that virtually none of our competitors could truthfully make a similar claim.
We are a USA based family business operating old-school style. That means real people trying to serve you as if we were a walk-in store in your local neighborhood. We always combine shipping on multiple-item orders and do not rip you off on shipping charges. If interested, check out About Our Manuals and other site sections with the menu links at the top of all pages. If you would like for us to be here in the future, you can help by telling your friends and by sharing links to our site in your discussion groups, forums, blogs and web sites.

| Fostex | A-8 | Reel to Reel | Service Manual #1 | (1981) 8 Track Recorder Reproducer.

| Fostex | A-8 | Reel to Reel | Service Manual #2 | (1983) 8 Track Recorder Reproducer. Also A-8LR (Low and High speed versions). Fostex produced this manual as a slightly revised A-8 Service Manual with additional material added for the differences concerning A-8LR. Regarding the A-8 section, the content is slightly different (but not much) from our A-8 Service Manual #1. See Full Description for further information. | G21 | FOSA8-SM2 | 120 total pages, constructed as the original including 11in x 17in folded /trimmed pullout pages, card stock covers, neatly assembled with 5 staples and fiber reinforced taped spine. Our original is a Fostex supplied copy that is not perfect. In this manual, Fostex reprinted the schematics (originally 11in x 17in inserts) about 1/3rd of their original size which makes much of the text too small to read. We add an excellent set of (6) 11in x 17in schematic inserts from our A-8 Service Manual #1 which will help compensate somewhat. Most of the PCB patterns are not clear and distinct making some of them difficult to read. Models covered: A-8 with Serial numbers: (UK & AUS versions) #0700464+, (FCA & CND versions) #0201667+, (EUR versions) #0601195+, and (DM versions) #1000632+ and A-8LR. Overall quality: Included (Fostex reduced) schematics = Fair to Good (but most text is too small to read clearly), PCB Patterns = Fair, Balance of Manual (all text, line drawings, exploded views) = Good. Priced as if 100 pages. |
