I ordered the service manual from these guys back in December:
http://www.manuals-in-pdf.com/
They were pretty good in supplying the Sony 6500W manual and the Satellit
210 manual, but they seem to have gotten lost on this one. I contact them
about every week and a half and they keep telling me that they will have it
in another week.
If it wasn't only 16 bucks I would contact my credit card company and have
the charges reversed (could they do anything to somebody in Poland? I doubt
it.)
Because of this last incident, I wouldn't recommend them. Supposedly, they
have the service manual for the Grundig 650 but I decided to order it from
W7FG Vintage Manuals. At least I received it 4 days later.
Another thing about that website...........the quality of the manuals
varies. Sometimes, they are a scan of a very poor photocopy of the original.
Well, at least they try.
Another thing..........if that 2999 of yours is in good condition it is a
very good LW/MW receiver. The main failure mode with the 2999 is that top
row of bandswitches. Mine wasn't that clean, so I ended up trading it
towards a Drake R7.
Good luck.........I hope you find the manual.

well, I got impatient and ripped it apart, figured out everything except
the front panel which I think might be better left alone.
using all the methods I have developed over the past couple years I was
able to clean off a lot of dirt and touch up a couple of tiny dings and
now have a collectable D2999 for my collection
I have added a few radios to my collection this month so I need to update
my web page.

I just received a D2999 today which I hope to add to my collection if I
can take it apart and give it a good cleaning (this is what I do to almost
every radio that goes into my collection)
has anyone out there taken one apart ? I believe there are some tricks to
the disassembly process that I need to know since I have not tracked down
the service manual yet.

please email me direct at
