I recall when Radio Shack had schematics for every one of their

Radio shack items will be around for a long time, and I have many
of them. But the website is gone.

If anyone knows a URL that has all the schamatics, please post
it. I may go on a downloading binge and download all the
schamatics and manuals, before they are completely gone.

I used to think that webites remained on the web forever, but that
is not the case. Had I known then, what I know now, I would have
downloaded this stuff long ago.


https://www.manualslib.com/brand/radio-shack/ seems to have a
fairly large assortment of manuals for all sorts of RS stuff.

The web site above also has a few Micronta and Realistic manuals as
well as RS brand.

Another repository at https://www.manualagent.com/radio-shack

Yet another at http://www.manualsdir.com/brands/radio-shack.html

Doing a little research on my own, I ran across this site.
http://www.repeater-builder.com/radi...ack-index.html

It has info and schematics for a lot of the RadioShack Ham gear,
including scanners, weather radios, test equipment and more. They do
NOT encourage other R.S. consumer electronics (I wish they would),
but it's a decent site, even if it's a bit disorganized.

Best of all, no f**king Capchas......


Why don't you contact the owners of those sites and see if they would be
amenable to allowing you to set up a mirror of their manual collections?
That would go a long way toward insuring that the manuals would survive for
a reasonably long time (maybe outliving the site owners).
