I wonder if scanning these into PDF or BMP would violate copyright laws. I know it would, but would the original publisher and/or author mind? It shouldn't. I've scanned in my back issues of Nuts & Volts, and put them on CD's. As long as these are only for you, and your not making copies to giv...

Why don't you go and post your question over on http://www.audiokarma.org/forums.
They seem to have a lot more Audiophile Fanatics than here.
So, you might have a better chance of finding some one there.
That would have a wiring hook up diagram for the radio.

That Radio was manufactured some where between 1982-1983. I'm finding Service Manuals for it. But not for free. :( http://www.agtannenbaum.com http://www.radioera.com/c-manuals.htm http://www.stereomanuals.com/man/rep/concord/ Here's an old advertisement for your radio. It includes some of the spec'...

looks to be the complete service manual. I don't see the schematic(s) or electrical parts list(s)... Yeah, Some companies back then, didn't include an electrical schematic of they're units. The electrical parts are there. Pages 38 - 43. Plus, page 45: List Of Interchangeable Semiconductors. Signed:...

Well, not that surprising really. I been in they're stores too. The so called "Sales Assistants" are not very knowledgeable when you ask them a technical question. Thou, the 900 pound Gorilla Walmart, has gotten into the Consumer Electronic's & Appliances as well. Plus, Online stores a...

the mount is actually sideways.. it clamps over the flex pipe, then screws down tightening it into the c clamp.. then there are screws in each corner to fasten up under the dash.. almost like conduit clamps on a square mounting bracket.. and believe it or not, a local radio repair shop guy named Bi...

But I see your not getting what I meant by "Hyping of a product". The Cell Phone has one gimmick that most people want. The ability to call someone from anywhere that you are currently standing. Hardly a gimmick! "An <expletive> phone that didn't do that would be nothing better than ...

So go to a review site and research your next purchase ahead of time. Sites like Amazon weave customer reviews into the product pages. I already do that. I go to consumer Reports. The Better Business Bureau, to check on the company. Cnet, and several other sites that offer reviews on products. And ...

Personally, I think the manufacturers hype they're products far too much. Many a time I've read the sales sheet on some device. Thinking that this might be something I could use. But once in actual use. The performance, and durability of the product is less than expected. I agree that consumers are ...
