Jim,
I have an underused FTP site, so if you would like to place your
complete manuals on it and make it a group resource, let me know (at
jstanton@...).
I have some PDF manuals I can share as well.
Regards
John Stanton

You are right. Many of the military manuals are only
parts lists and calibration info. The Army website
listed on this forum previously showed 68 Tektronix
manuals. Only about a dozen of these are complete
Operator/Service type manuals (I know, I downloaded
all of them plus the HP, Fluke, Wavetek, etc.). I
have spent many hours sorting through my downloads to
label the files as regular manuals or parts manuals.
I have also found many more manuals on the Marines and
Navy websites. There is a statement on the Marine
site that now says all of these manuals are free for
public use and unlimited distribution.
If anyone in this group needs one of these manuals on
CD, let me know. I will try to make a list of what I
have and put it on an FTP site.
I am not going to try to sell CDs like others, but
will give you the CD for my cost to make,package, and
ship (I already traded Stan Griffiths a set).
I also have hundreds of original manuals also I will
usually sell for a lot less than most manual places.

Recently CD collections of military test equipment
manuals have
become available. With excitement I bought a
collection of "31
Tektronix Manuals".
To my disappointment the "manuals" were in fact
simple notes; some
just parts lists, others simplified calibrations
instructions. There
are no schematics or service information. Beware.
On the question of life of TV and monitor tubes I
seem to recollect
that life was extended by limiting brightness.
Monitor quality
certainly makes a difference, we have 15 year old
IBM monitors that
cost around $3,000 when new but still work perfectly
yet only expect
modern PC monitors to function for a couple of years
before they fail
and are discarded as beyond economical repair.
