From: Arfa Daily on 10 Sep 2009 13:26 Anybody still got, by any remote chance, a schematic for a Grundig Yacht Boy model 208 that they could scan and let me have pronto ? Note that the model number is very specific. There were many different radios produced by Grundig under the "Yacht Boy" flag. I'm sure that there must have been a "Trader" service sheet for it, but all of mine have long since gone ... TIA Arfa

Is there a problem with that? I find that if a quick search does not yield a decent print that gives me all that I need, Putting that much time into looking for it in general, warrants paying a nominal fee for a service manual that is in good shape. Don't be cheap!

Right. But hardly in the spirit of usenet, is it ? Over many years, I have given freely of my time, professional expertise, and many thousands of service manuals to any and all who have asked on this group. I have spent hours scanning paper originals just to help out someone who needs a schematic. Am I really being "cheap" as you so quaintly put it, asking occasionally for someone to reciprocate ? No ? I don't think so either, Jamie ... Arfa

Ignore Bill Turner and the other couple curmudgeons. If anyone has the manual you need, they will give it to you. Ignore 'jamie', he is another illiterate troll. His real name is Maynard A.
