I found this service manual to be complete in every detail except for troubleshooting charts. It would be helpful if it had a set of troubleshooting charts; however it is a very good manual otherwise and for the price it is very well worth it.
Complete manual included schematics layouts and alignment procedure, clear to read and magnify, extremely pleased with manual and owner manual . com's service
Thank you, this is a rare document. Few others have it, but they charge way more for a download.
Great deal (even if you have to wait a few hours to get it).
The purchased manual is an high quality scan of the original Philips paper-based Service Manual. I am very satisfied!
