Well, since we're going there...
I used to work on a lot of that stuff. Closed my shop up back in 1992. At
that time I took a whole mess of manuals to another, nearby shop that we had
a good relationship with, saying something like "You'll probably find some
use for these before I do..." and there they sat. Until recently, when I
heard from the guy who's now running it, and he wants the space back so they
can do some other stuff. So I'm getting them out of there, transportation
permitting (and my car is currently off the road). The results of the first
trip over there can be seen here:

I've been working up a list of what's there, just typing stuff into a text
file and so far it's up around 50K bytes or so, and I have a good bit of
that material to go yet. Anybody looking for any of that sort of stuff?
In a word, Yes.
(I almost typed, "In a word, Yes please", but while politer, it didn't
make sense.)
In your picture I noticed Tektronix manuals, the top being for a
3-series 'scope plugin. I don't have that particular plugin, but I do
have a 564 scope...
I also noticed Moog manuals. You haven't got an Opus 3 service manual
hidden away there, have you?
I'll not place a bulk order since shippling is likely to be prohibitive
(you're not in England, are you?), but I'll eagerly await your
catalogue. Or even your catalog :-)
There's still a 5-drawer file cabinet over there
yet that I have to arrange to
go and get... :-)
Go for it!
Philip.
