TR-001 Service Manual

[Findm-Keepm]

Panasonic went microfiche after 1978. They had contracts with a company to convert all of their service data to microfiche. In 1986, they converted backto paper, but only for current (new) stuff. We had paper manuals up to '74, microfiche for '74-85, and some paper stuff. Oddly, Quasar stayed with the paper manuals to the end. I probably have the fiche for the TR-001, and it's likely on a fiche with 2 or 3 other models, and updated. Our paper manuals went to the dumpster in 2000 or so - too much space taken up for so few sets serviced, and we had Sams for most of them.

I hated it when you had to buy the fiche to get a part number - Panasonic parts wouldn't look up the part for you - too labor intensive, I imagine. Only when the bigger distributors came along did they freely look up part numbers for you. We had a big binder full of commonly needed parts and their part numbers.

Lemme look on Monday (I'm tied up tomorrow with stuff) and I'll post/PM as appropriate.

Cheers,
