Greetings:

I am in the midst of a project involving the Grundig YB 400
and hope to find alignment details and component placement
information from the service manual (which seems to be
very hard to locate). Does anyone have access to this
manual?


I have one in paper form, plus access to a scanner.

Alignment is only one b/w page per language, but the PCB drawings are 6
pages using color which won't be too easy to compress. I may need to
resort to DjVu format (no experience with creation so far). It's likely
to take a few days in any case.

Wow!, Thanks for your reply!

I am very pleased with the program called 'IrfanView' (freeware but well
engineered) for scanning and image processing in Win32; it has most every
compression format imaginable and also a large library of image processing
plugins and yet its footprint is quite small. I have scanned many
color manual pages and compressed to jpeg (or compressed TIFF) in IrfanView
with good reduction in file size (typical 20MB TIFF down to 500-900KB jpeg)
without loss of fidelity (to the eye). Irfanview is at
http://www.irfanview.com.

If you would like, you can upload scans to our incoming ftp area (or email
is ok too as there is no size restriction on message length); please email
me at 'msg _at_ cybertheque _dot_ org'.

I inquired from 'Eton' in Palo Alto (current owner of the Grundig radio line)
for a service manual for the YB400 or G4000A (the relabeled name) and received
a reply that 'we do not have the manual, it is unavailable'. I wonder
what this could mean ;-)

Thanks so much again,

Michael
