Question Service manual for "antique" Maggie LD Player?

I recently got a hold of the original Magnavox VH-8000 laserdisc player. Its manufacture date is something like July 1979. Does anyone have a service manual for this thing? I see a lot of Magnavox experts here so I figured someone's gotta have a book in their way-back file. When it was shipped it wasn't well packed, so it took a few hits I'm sure. No tracking on receipt. Laser powers up great (I understand they are prone to HeNe tube failures). Physical tracking seems to be okay....carriage moves on command. The focus servos have on occasion gone into their "squeak squeak" "I'm tracking the disk" rhythm (just like my working Pioneer) indicating the servos are alive. The only thing I know to do is check the alignment of the optical block, but I don't dare do so without a service manual. All those little mirrors and apetures are likely out of line given all the microadjustments on them and the fragility of the mechanisms. Gotta love UPS (don't get me started on them).

Loads of thanks
