  1. Once I finished the FSM, I went through and broke everything down into chunks of about a neg each, when I did this I lost all the bookmarks in the original file. As soon as Tom turns it loose you'll see what I mean. I built lots of bookmarks into the whole manual files. Online is good for some purposes but having it on a cd is the ideal situation. What I have been doing is having people send me a blank cd, their return address and return postage. This way I can not be percieved as making any money on it but the information goes out to the people that need it. The P&I covers 1986 - 1993, aka all Reattas.

  2. The 90 manual I scanned at 150 dpi came out to be 63 meg ( 1965 pages ) 150 dpi seems adequate for printing. The P&I is 44 meg ( 1566 pages ) again at 150 dpi. Both of these were looseleaf in binders. You may want to up your estimated completed file size a bit, and lower your dpi. The P&I would have been a larger file but I cut the scan down from 8.5 x 11.69 to 8.5 x 11, saving a little bit on each page times 1566. In the P&I there were a lot of "Notes" blank pages. Unfortunately they numbered them so I scanned them anyway if for no other reason than to produce an accurate reproduction of the original.

  3. These are the files I have, I'll email with sizes.

    There is no section 2, it was renumbered to 10

    They all require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view/print.

    It is a free download

  4. I am sure they can. What year are you talking about? When I get back to Virginia Wednesday I'll check the FSM and and get the section on the ECM to you.

  5. The cost of the cd is somewhere between a dime and a quarter. The time involved doing the scanning is the

    big thing, working at it off and on, it took a couple weeks to scan the Helm's 90 service manual ( six inches thick or about 85 megabytes scanned ) I also scanned a half assed parts list and had to go through girations because instead of black and white it was greyscale and required scanning at 200dpi to be readable. The FSM is scanned at 150dpi so that it would be usable when printed, it actually looks better printed than it looks on screen. 75dpi vs 150dpi.

    I'm visiting my daughter in Missouri until next Wednesday, when I get back to Virginia I'll attach a few pages to a message so you can see what it looks like. I save everything as pdf files so it will take Adobe Acrobat Reader

    to view them. It's a freebie, what isn't a freebie is Adobe Acrobat to create the files.

  6. If anyone buys THIS I will swap a scanned 90 service manual for the opportunity to scan the parts list also. It will be returned to you in the same shape that I recieve it with a cd containing it and the FSM.
