Thanks.

Product is no longer listed and I don't need another, just a User Manual or Copy.

No hits at all on Google, but plenty of the Typewriters for sale, but not worth buying because of the freight.

Email the company.

They may be able to email you a pdf of the document.

Just curious - why do you need a manual? Typewriters (and they are pretty well past their useby date now) don't have a lot of controls on them...

The are not Companies but firms like EBay., not all English.

This is a Electronic Typewriter, and to be used by a Poor Filipino Family, like most are.

Its a very Old product and that would be just a Big waste of time, they do not even list the Thermal ribbons for it..

Casio IS a company, and while the link I provided you is Casio Japan, the form the link points to specifically asks you to complete it in English.

And if they can't even get the thermal ribbons, of what utility is the typewriter to them?

This sounds a little like the old missionary thing of sending used, dried teabags to the mission fields.

"Well, this stuff is of no earthly use to use, it is just a cast-off, but I can send it to the other side of the world where it will be greatfully accepted..."

Actually, a big waste of time was trying to help you.

Companies often keep old manuals in case someone wants instructions some years down the track.

Given that it would have been faster for you to email them and find out for sure if they had a manual they could email you, than post a question here, I wonder what your real motivation is.

And I wonder what yours is..

Just to criticize and of no help at all.

Panasonic here have PDF Manuals on there Web site even for old stuff, Casio does have some watch manual you can dnload but not for 2 of the older LCD watches that I have..

Actually, when people don't mention any attempt they've made already, it's impossible to tell whether they are lazy or have just forgotten to mention that they've done searches.

Just yesterday, I got a Casio organizer that was made about 2000. I bought it at a garage sale for $3.00. I came home, and immediately did a search. Right away, I found a site that was about the device, and it included a link to the Casio website where the manual is.

It is usually quite difficult to not find information on the internet about older equipment. The more popular an item, the easier it is. Because not only may the manufacturer put the information online, but third parties will put up information because they have an interest in the product. Those two hand me down digital cameras I have? I've got manuals off the web that I found because I did searches. Often, even if you can't find information specific to a piece of equipment, you can find information about a similar unit, that is generally applicable to the piece you have.

When it is so easy to find information, if a poster doesn't want to be called lazy it's up to them to mention that they've done searches.

At $2 tell the seller to keep the typewriter and post the manual.

You did notice that I provided you with a *link* to the webform that would have allowed you to *ask* the company directly, didn't you?

You know, from the two minutes I spent reading the site, I realise that.

I also mentioned that some companies DONT put all of their out of date manuals online - but often have them available for people clever enough to ask them directly.

Oh well...

... guess you miss out.

So you wasted a day doing something that should have only taken two minutes.

Sure, you have been around since the net started, but it is clear you haven't learned much.

You don't seem to have learned very much.

  1. How old are you?

Oh, and which part of my attitude do you dislike? The part where I provided information that would have led you to the material you wanted, or the "well, you can take a flying f*ck" when you decided you didn't want what was probably going to help you?

Which tirade is that? I've serviced electronic equipment for paychecks for 42 years.

You act like a spoiled ten year old. Why would they put them on line when they can sell them for an inflated price? I have never found a Casio manual online for anything I've had on the bench. After looking at their low build quality, most of it wasn't worth even printing a manual when they were new.

has the manual, a new ribbon and the original box for $49.95. buyitnow.

It took me all of ten seconds to find it online. Either buy it, or STHU.
