Is there any Archive of Radio Shack schematics & manuals online?
I recall when Radio Shack had schematics for every one of their items.
Brands like Archer, Micronta, Tandy, Realistic etc. 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. |

Dave M That does seem to have a lot of them, but I can only view them page by page. To download them, they require a CAPCHA. If I said what I think about capchas, I'd be banned from the newsgroup for using foul language. If I can even read the f**king things, they do not work on my slow dialup system, nor do they work on my cellphone. I'd like to shoot every one of the sons of a b***hes who use them idiotic things. They serve no purpose whatsoever. |

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). Dave M |

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. |

I'm doubtful you'd get permission from a website, but the question is not what they say but who owns the copyright. NT |
