Default Is there any Archive of Radio Shack schematics & manuals online?

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).

Although it's possible, I dont have a website. Back in the 90's anyone
could make a simple HTML website, but these days that's no longer
possible.

Plus, since I am on dialup, I much prefer just storing data on my own
computer. I have 1TB of storage space, so it's a lot easier to have it
right here at home.

Heck, just this week, I went to a WIFI and downloaded 140 episodes of
one of my favorite old 1960s TV series (from youtube). It took me about
7 hours of downloading, and ended up being around 22GB. But now I can
watch these anytime anywhere.

That's not real possible with these sites that require a person to go
thru multiple stems and enter a Captcha, for each download.
