Thanks.... The short answer is no. Their web site used to include links to their product manuals. That's no longer there. However, they do have a "contact us" link. https://www.radioshack.com/pages/contact-us You can always ask if they have a manual for a product. And of course, there's always eBay. -- "I am a river to my people." Jeff-1.0 WA6FWi http:foxsmercantile.com |

Make, model, WHAT the damn ting is, what are the inputs ad outputs. If you got image hosting then pictures. What have you tried so far and what were the results ? Did you get a change in symptoms ? Have you checked the power supply ? It is completely dead ? In act what IS the symptom ? I tell you this, I studied a bit of psychology when I was younger and before they frigged it all up.

I picked up a vintage model WL-1000 White Lightning plasma dome produced by Rabbit Systems from Goodwill. Late 1980's vintage. It had no cord/ power supply and I was trying to determine that plus get whatever other information I could find out beyond instructions. I thought it was the Radio Shack one I used to have, 42-3038 "lightning fury" but no. Looks just like that unit did though. |

This is usenet. Clearly it is not sufficient that I must be right in my opinions and advice, but it is also necessary that you must be wrong in yours.
Using the 'car won't start' analogy, the question asked was: Does anyone here know of a handy source of Chevrolet manuals anywhere on the internet? That is a pretty generic question requiring no mind-reading whatsoever. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

wrote: ... but did it ever occur that I already googled it, many, many times over the last few weeks in fact? Nope. I appreciate your compliments, but members of this newsgroup are not normally blessed with clairvoyance, mind reading, and the ability to read between the lines. I do own a crystal ball, but it is in dire need of an unobtainium recharge and is therefore currently non-functional. While omnipresence (looking over your shoulder), and omniscience (knowing all things) are useful tools, not everyone can afford exchanging their eternal soul for these benefits. Therefore, it would be best if you supply the missing information needed to answer a question. May I suggest the following template: 1. What are you trying to accomplish? Not a detailed description. Just a one line general description of the problem so that the newsgroup gods might have a clue what you're doing. 2. What are you working with? That means names and numbers, not vague and ambiguous descriptions. Manufacturers name, full model number, revisions, firmware version, etc. As many numbers as you can find. Extra credit for providing a URL to the data sheet or service manual so we don't need to waste time finding the documentation. 3. What have you done so far and where are you stuck? Please do not assume that everything you've done is correct until you arrived at an impasse. It's highly likely that you did something wrong or badly. Notice that I'm not really interested in a detailed description of all the right or wrong things that you've done. Just a short list. 4. What level of ability and what test equipment are available? Notice that I didn't say "your level of ability" or "test equipment that you own". Just who do you have handy (including yourself) that can help with the problem, and what aids can you borrow? I'm not going to write a detailed test procedure only to find that you don't have access to any test equipment (or that the test equipment doesn't work). There are probably a dozen other things that would be of interest but the aforementioned are the most interesting. If you've invented something new, patentable, or believe that you're entitled to a Nobel Prize, you might reconsider asking questions. If you're working on a commercial project under NDA, and you value your job and bank account, I would also reconsider asking questions.
