TV and monitor service manuals

For what it's worth, archive.org just put up the service manuals for various tv's, monitors and projectors, about 8000 of them.

Includes weird stuff like the 3D eyewear that came with some of the 3D sets.

Are you aware of any other structured hierarchical indexing on archive.org relating to electronics service manuals?

No, I think their main purpose in life is to archive, leaving the search to you. Sort of like a rummage sale where you need to pull out all the boxes under the tables and going through the items one by one.

Several years ago I stumbled across usenet archives (since groups on google is totally worthless these days) and they have a ton. By accident I ran across ones for chi.* (the chicago ones) but wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

Well sure enough, quite some time later, the discussion came up about people who aren't around anymore, when was their last post and so-and-so.

Went back to find them and it took hours, if not including two attempts to do so. I thought they disappeared, but were all buried. They had some in the index, but like from giganews but only going back to 2001 or so. Another archive, not in the index, went back to the beginning, like 1992 or so.

So consider it a treasure hunt.

I would likely bet that archive.org uses "robots.txt" to stop searchengines indexing its content.

But they do have "collections", though I think I've found them through searches via google, or maybe pointers from elsewhere (so I don't know how people found them). There's a big section of Grateful Dead recordings, there's a big section of home computer magazines, I'm not sure what else.

I've never had a searchengine direct me to archive.org, only third party redirects

You can force a google search inside, by using the "site:" keyword. Example: site:archive.org "Hewlett-Packard journal" "1988"

Double quotes do make a difference.

Cheers!
