I have RA60 prints, with notes,
RA81 Maint Guide AA-M879B-TC
RA80 MG AA-M186B-TC
RM80 POCKET SERV GUIDE EK-0RM80-PG-001
RA81 Field Maint print set MP-01359?
I also have prints and or manuals for RP04/5/6
RK611, RK06/07
TUxx
and parts for mass bus devices which I will never use. I have no problem
selling heads
and other parts, but not sure on documentation yet. If i do sell them, the
buyer must
agree to scan and send copies to Al.
I still want to sell off all my q-bus- about 10-15 boxes, and maybe 600 or
more boards.
All Vax is going. I also have several 8-E boxes, and some boards.
also 100 or so non- DEC boards such as Able, CMD, Dilog, Emulex, ETC.

Yeah, I saw that while searching as well. The service documentation
that's
available for the R80/RA80 is somewhat useful but lacks detailed technical
information, it's a step above a board-swapping guide for service techs,
basically.
I spent some time yesterday with the schematics (which, annoyingly, don't
match my revision of the boards...) and immediately discovered that the
optical sensor on the spindle wasn't working anymore -- it was definitely
operational when I first started working on it but apparently it gave up
the ghost after running for a few hours. So at minimum I need to fix
that,
there may still be other faults. The sensor picks up light, but it looks
like the LED light source on the other end of it is dead. I'm going to
attempt to bodge in a replacement IR LED and see if that's good enough...
Thanks all,
Josh

It doesn't provide a lot
of
details
on the drive's operation and I was hoping the RA80 or RM80
manuals
might be more detailed...)
I'm guessing you mean AA-M186B-TC "RA80 Maintenance Guide", but if not,
that's there.
(Assuming I've not mis-typed something, I seem to have a later version,
AA-M186C-TC, but I've not scanned that).
Someone else was looking 10 years ago:
but seemingly with no luck.
I think the FMPS must be on bitsavers but I hit this first:
