ManualMan specializes in amateur radio, audio, and radio-related manuals
primarily from manufacturers who no longer support certain older equipment models
or from manufacturers who no longer exist. ManualMan always recommends you
check the availability of needed manuals from the original equipment manufacturer first.
An original manual on a complex piece of electronic equipment (with multi-layer boards,
path layouts, complex schematics, color layer identification, etc.) is always easier
to read than a replication. If the manufacturer can no longer supply the information you
need, ManualMan would be happy to serve you.

Provide This Service in a Professional & Dedicated Manner
All manuals are prepared to look "like new." This means that all
markings, notes, hand-drawn pictures, etc. will be removed (as best
as possible) from the original before a replication will be made.
Depending on the condition of the original, there may be sections,
paragraphs, or entire pages that may have to be retyped. All reproductions
are done back-to-back or as the original dictates. If, in the process of
providing a replication of a schematic, assembly drawing, or specialized layout,
and sheet bonding is required due to an unusual sheet size, ManualMan will
provide this service at no additional charge. Complex schematics
are generally enlarged to fit on 11 x 17 sheets. Large schematics are
generally replicated full size. Schematics are not cut up to fit on 8.5 x 11 sheets.

08/02/2010: Ron Joseph
I have ordered manuals three or four times and they are always excellent and practically indistinguishable from the originals. The ManualMan turns around the order quickly and gets it "out the door" and into my hands in a short amount of time. You couldn't ask for better quality and service.
|
07/18/2010: Dick Wolff
I ordered a manual from MANUALMAN for a Kenwood TS-850S. I did not know what to expect when it arrived so promptly. I was amazed that it looked just like the origional with the same type of cover and a spiral neatly holding it together. Fold out pages were all in order. A great value and a well done for Pete, thanks. Dick

06/09/2010: Ron
Your manuals are of the highest quality. Thanks very much for that.

02/01/2010: Sandman 1031
I am very impressed with the manuals I received. They look a lot better then any download from the internet. The manuals are complete and a lot more then I expected. Now I have a new place to get my manuals.
Thank You!

Just bought my third manual from ManualMan. I will keep coming back because the workmanship is incredible. All text is crisp and clean. Multilayer PCB detail shows excellent grayscale detail. Schematics are amazingly sharp. This workmanship is far and above the cheap photocopies you sometimes see from other manual vendors.

12/16/2009: Jim Browne
Just received the manuals for the reverb. They are better than anything I have bought off of e-bay. Will be ordering more manuals as soon as I can get some numbers off the radios. Best manuals I have seen. Thanks Pete

12/15/2009: Steve Bento
Excellent and very professional service. Thanks for the hard to find manual!

06/09/2009: Vincent Italia
I have just received the manual. Excellent quality and very fast delivery, only 4 days from the USA to Italy!
And last but not least; a VERY RARE MANUAL!
Compliments!

Pete,
I received the two manuals today (04/05/09) and all I can say is:
WOW! I can't tell that these aren't factory original manuals and to get a brand new 45 year old manual, in just ten days, for only 20 bucks is truly amazing. The quality and binding is first class! You must love your work, because I don't know how you can make money on these custom printings at the prices you charge.
Thanks so much

01/08/2009: Ron Ainsworth
Wow!!...You really do good work! I'm proud to have such a fine quality
manual. The printing is great and the content is way beyond what I expected. Not only a service manual but a complete user guide for the Radio and all the related accessories. Also appreciate the $3 coupon. Thanks Ron

I just want to thank you for the wonderful manuals. I ordered 4 manuals, it took all of 3 days for them to arrive. I have never purchased reproduction service manuals and schematics that had spiral bound covers, and also, the quality was fantastic. Thank you so much!

Once again thank you for the nice work you did on the manuals.
If it was not for the B&W reproduction, you would think these
manuals came from the manufacturer!

Thanks a million for the super service on the SP-600 manuals, they
arrived today. They are beautiful! Maybe I can get this old gal up
and
running with the help of these manuals.
Thanks again

01/08/2007: Randy
I received the manuals today. I'm very impressed. If I did not know, it would be difficult to tell that they were not originals; the fold-out schematics look great.
|
01/08/2007: Mike
Got the Tandberg manual today. Fabulous job! It's just what I was looking for. I'll keep you in mind for my future needs. It looks like an original, is it, or is it a copy?
