Hi, I have an IO-4555 Heathkit O-Scope that started spewing out smoke

15 seconds after turning it on.

Would like to find someone that can shoot me a PDF of the assembly manual with schematics. The operations manual would be nice also.

I've checked Google and Dogpile for variations and can only find a schematic for the dual trace version. (IO-4550)

A few places are selling the manuals for a goofy amount of money. I may have some files, templates, webspace, etc. that I can offer for trade.

Also, have you asked on the Yahoo Heathkit mailing list?

BTW, has anyone kept up with the Heathkit/BAMA fiasco? It sure makes acquiring Heath products without manuals a bad deal.

I didn't know that there was a problem. What's the story on that?

Not exactly a freebie but more of a barter.

Maybe I'm not living in the real world But I feel that those prices are a little wonky. I think they should be about half that price.

I'm a patient fellow. I'm sure some reasonably priced ones will show up on ebay or at the Dayton Hamfest or someplace else.

I think the thing with BAMA was that he had many Heathkit manuals online and the new (10/08) copyright holder is asking that all Heathkit data be removed.

Apparently he has entered into agreements with some online people to sell this info. I'm all for making a reasonable profit but!!!

If I do end up getting the copies I want I have no problem sending the new copyright owner a fair and reasonable fee and I will.
