For the information of others with PDP 8 machines, my PDP-8/S came with some original manuals, in good condition.
Sample: http://everist.org/pics/PDP-8S/20181103_1569_manuals.jpg

Here's a list of them. If by chance any of these are missing from scanned collections online, please let me know.
I can scan them if needed.
