I looked them up and found they had, for example, a manual for
the Ferrograph Series 3. Would that be a badge engineered
Ferrograph manual or a different publication¹? I had manuals
for the Series 2 (hardbound) and Series 7 (comb-bound) machines
that I/we possessed. They had full alignment instructions,
circuit diagrams etc.
In the UK I had no difficulty with getting manuals and circuit
diagrams from the likes of Quad, Leak, Radford, Tandberg, to name
but a few. I just wrote to them and they sent them back, gratis.
That seemed to be the norm back then (fifties through seventies).
¹ie like the entirely original Haynes manuals for cars.
Cheers,
David.
