Old Grundig Radio ...

I just did a google test, 62k hits on the subject, 1.7k, specifying "Service Manuals"

Of course, the only hitch is, you need to give them money !

Is there a problem with that?

I find that if a quick search does not yield a decent print that gives me all that I need, Putting that much time into looking for it in general, warrants paying a nominal fee for a service manual that is in good shape.

Don't be cheap!

Yeah. Right. But hardly in the spirit of usenet, is it ? Over many years, I have given freely of my time, professional expertise, and many thousands of service manuals to any and all who have asked on this group. I have spent hours scanning paper originals just to help out someone who needs a schematic. Am I really being "cheap" as you so quaintly put it, asking occasionally for someone to reciprocate ? No ? I don't think so either, Jamie ...

You can always ask. The expectation that it is deserved is the recurring mindset of thieves.

Arfa, ask on news:rec.antiques.radio+phono which is mostly pre '60s radios, but there are several transistor radio collectors on there. Ignore Bill Turner and the other couple curmudgeons. If anyone has the manual you need, they will give it to you.

Ignore 'jamie', he is another illiterate troll. His real name is Maynard A. Philbrook, Jr.

Time for your meds and to get your diaper changed little one...run along now, there's a good little tyke.

If they don't have it try de.sci.electronics. I think I've seen a post or two from you there before. Posting in English is ok and the chances of someone having such a schematic is a lot higher than here. Yacht Boy radios were sort of a "must have" among German travelers.

If all else fails, this guy seems to have it for 5 Euros:

Oh big deal, shit head!.

I can say that I am not a sucking leach of the likes of you and what you're trying to promote..

It's bad enough that you have be an ignoramus leach, you need to go on and promote it for others to do also.

You cheap, leach sucking good for nothing shit head and most likely always have your hands out for something that's free while you stab the knife in their back as they walk away..

Yes, I know you voted for Obama, just so that you could become part of his free loaders on top of what you already do..

P.S.

I just happen to be one of those working class that must pay for leaches like you.

Its a shame that many get lead down that dark path by the likes of you.

What a prize.

Oh boy. I wish I'd never asked ... Thanks to the sensible respondents

That's all well and fine how ever, that would mean that monetary exchange would have to take place, it's obvious something that "Michael A. Terrell" feels shouldn't be practiced.

I've paid a lot over the years for service manuals and had no issues doing so. The information given is well worth it, how ever, you have some that'll give you a song and dance like they only need it for their own personal reference and end up of course, laughing all the way to the bank as they make their mark on the final results!.

That's real gratitude for you. Service manuals are like test equipment. Should one also expect the equipment to be freely given out? Oh yeah, the shipping and packaging should also be included for free.!

All things cost.

1. Labor.
2. Material.

What am I trying to promote? I tell someone where they can find the information they need, usually for free.

Ignoramus? Wow, did your mommy spell that for you? You are the one who rarely posts anything that makes sense, like another of yours today about a 'bus bare'. Its no wonder you rarely post on sci.electronics.design any more. Everyone there knows you are useless.

Yawn. you are afraid to tell anyone where you supposedly work, troll.

I am retirement age and no longer able to work, thanks to the Veterans Administration. While working, I engineered at three TV stations, one which I built from an empty building. I built communication equipment for the International Space Station. A turnkey earth station for NOAA's LEO earth stations to receive their weather data that included tracking controls for their 100 foot sat dishes. the improved design locked onto their birds a full five minutes over the horizon, due to the improved Doppler compensation we developed. I worked on both tracking stations for the European Space Agency. One fixed system and one mobile, since they don't have the empty space that NASA does for their launches.

I give away a lot of free computer equipment to the disabled and low income families in my area, even though it costs me money to pick it up and test it to keep it out of the landfill.

YAwn. No, I didn't vote for your pimp. As a sign here said, 'Vote for the old dude and the hot chick!'

You couldn't pay for a Big Mac on what you get for being a janitor. I worked most of my life, including time in the US army where I tested out of a three year engineering school. Its easy to find me in the DOD personnel records database, if you have enough clearance to search them.

What dark path? You are the one with 666 on your forehead. :)

Your mother lied to you. You are no prize. Its time for you to empty the trash cans again.

Good luck, arfa. :)

You are the one who is always whinig about money.

Yawn.

Pond scum!.

classical.

You think too highly of yourself. You barely rate Amoeba

No thanks. I prefer Bluegrass, real American music. Not some German or French import.

After I've been to the dentist, I'll scan in and email to a......@ntl.....

-- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on

I've had this statement on my main page "If anyone finds something useful in the information above especially in the tips and repair briefs if they would like to mail me a dollar or whatever I will donate to charity and acknowledge here" for 8 years.

For 2 weeks I added a stat-tracker to those files, requiring excessive downloading of data, as limited to a log of 100 visits, loosing some overnight when USA is awake. I know from the symptoms and make and model put into search engines , about 3 people a week got spot on diagnosis of repairs, over those 2 weeks. Guess how many donations I've made to charity over those 8 years?

Thanks a lot Mr Cook sir. You are indeed a gentleman and a scholar ! If it makes it easier, I am mainly interested in the bit of schematic that has the battery / AC-DC switching / power on-off switching on it.

I hope that your dentist is as good as mine, and doesn't cause you too much grief ! Have a good weekend.

I've long suspected that you really were in New Jersey, and faking the whole UK thing. Now I have proof. Everyone knows there are no good dentists in England.

(just kidding).

I've uploaded the ERT sheet for the GYB208 to News:alt.binaries.pictures.radio its zipped with Izarc in case your zip app has any trouble with it.
