Wtd: QL Service Manual clear scan (NOT OCR!)

Post by Dave »

I need a clear scan of the QL Service Manual, October '85 or later revision.

It needs to be just a scan, not an OCR'd version. The version at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/manuals/QL ... Manual.pdf contains some critical OCR errors that, well.... :/

Would pay handsomely for an original printing with clear appendices.

Any help appreciated.

That's the same PDF as the one I was using. It's OCR'd and a lot of the component values are WAY off. Also, the formatting's ruined. There's an HTML version that's much more correct, but it still has a few errors including some of the same values.

I just got a PM offer of a clean scan copy from an original. So, I might be okay.

Hi Rich,

This version is the same as the Service Manual I have, except, my manual is an original.

I can scan this if required.

Tony Fiershman did some corrections to the QL Circuit diagrams, I will see if I have the details of the corrections.


Regards,

Derek
