Default Aimor TR-105

I just picked up an Aimor TR-105, for very little money. I have seen these
before, but didn't know much about them. To my delight when I received it,
it was in extremely fine condition and after the usual "clean and lube" it
is pretty close to mint. Best of all, it works perfectly.

I am quite literally amazed at the way this radio performs. I haven't done
a real side-by-side comparison, but at first use it seems to be on par with
my two best analog radios, the RF-2200 and ICF-5900W. Seriously. I didn't
expect much, especially for the price I paid, but this is a GREAT radio.
And not only does it seem to be as sensitive and selective as the Panasonic
and Sony, it has excellent sound. It's also very well constructed and was
easy to take apart and put back together.

So my question is this: Has anyone else here ever had one of these? And do
you happen to have, or know where I can get the service manual? I've
Googled the hell out of it, and searched all the usual manual sites, but
cannot find it in any form anywhere. Although the radio works great, since
this is a "keeper" I'd like to have the manual, and of course I wouldn't
mind tweaking the alignment as I do for every other radio. Any help out
there?
