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. Pete "mike maghakian" wrote in message ... 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. "mike maghakian" wrote in message ... 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 |
