Mac,

Well spotted!

The two manuals on the left are original but the second two on the right are
reprints.

If anyone is interested in buying these; be aware that the pictures in the
reprints I have are VERY dark and quite often it's difficult to see enough
detail to clarify the job properly.

Regards,
Rob M.

A couple of reprints I have bought are
at least as good as the ones available
here free or on CD from a member at
a cost of about $30 (IIRC).

They're not that bad to have if you like to e able to hold a book in your hand, and I bought the Cinnebar reprints when I first got my GMC, but I would also agree that the CDs have clearer pictures and take up less space to transport.

I have found quite a few companies post their manuals for older products on the web, and love having the information available wherever I have Internet access. Between that and this llist, there's not a lot you can't find!

Mac,

You are correct, they are all scanned copies. The pictures in the scanned
copies look the same.

If you had a copy of an original manual and one of the reprints you'd see
what I was talking about in an instant.

Tell you what compare this picture from one of my original manuals to the
one in your reprints:

And let us know how it compares.

Regards,
Rob M.

The link doesn't work for me, Rob.
AND, I am 560 road miles from home
and my coach and manuals.

Mac
