I have a manual for the Wilson T-1402SM VHF portable transceiver. It needs
a new home. Is there someone who collects these old manuals and then makes them available? I would donate it to them. BAMA does not seem to want this sort of stuff. Colin K7FM |

BAMA does not seem to want this sort of stuff. Colin K7FM Colin, I am in the process of scanning all my old manuals, and listing them on my website. I upload the scan to another website so someone can access it on request, since I can't afford a lot of web space. I also plan to make full CDROMS available for a couple bucks each, because some of the manuals are huge. They will be sorted into categories, or custom made to what an individual wants. I straighten the scans, splice the schematics together, and clean up the stray dots, so I spend a lot of time on each manual. I am a disabled veteran, and this is more of a project to keep me busy, than anything else. Most of my useful hours are spent on this project: http://home.earthlink.net/~computersforvets/ A project to provide free computers to disabled and disadvantaged Veterans in Marion County, Florida. which will get any money made from selling CDROMs, if there is anything in excess of the cost of the media and shipping. I can't just sit around and do nothing, so I started the "Computers for Veterans" project. I have a small but steady stream of donated computers and parts coming in. I repair as many as I can and turn them over to the local "Vets Helping Vets" group. I have funded the overhead out of my disability pension, but I can't afford to buy replacement boards and such. The gasoline costs are killing me. I can't ask for, or accept any cash donations until I get my tax exempt status from the IRS, so I fix what I can without buying parts. I am not a ham, but I have collected and restored boatanchors from the mid '60s, and I worked as a broadcast engineer at a number of rado and TV stations so I know the value of preserving manuals on all types of electronics. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |
