That one scan of the manual that has been floating around for a few years
in yahoo groups is useless.

I would like to get a real one.

This is probably not what you want to hear but the only one I've been able
to locate for a long time is:

http://www.radiolabs.com/downloads/S...r-manuals.html

Even partsolver.com says it's no longer available. Good Luck.

In the links section of the Sony SW-55 Yahoo group are several sources for
the User and Service manuals in both paper and CD form. I suggest avoiding
the CD version of the Service manual because the schematic diagram seems to
be missing.

I am looking for a user manual and the one in the yahoo group is that same
unreadable scanned manual.

If you try to print it out it is useless.

thanks anyway

Dave,
You can ORDER/purchase a new Users Manual from the parts suppliers that are
listed in the Yahoo "LINKS" section.
I am not referring to the "Files" section. You are not looking in the right
directory. Look in the "Links" section.
The Sony part number for the Users Manual is: 3-753-912-16

I have one (original), along with the radio, so if someone wants to
pay for a copy (fairly expensive, about 200 pages), I am probably
willing to do it.

If I recall correctly, the original printed manual has about 4 sections
where each section is a different language.
The English language portion of the users manual is much less than 200
pages.
