Hi:

I'm looking for original service manuals or good scans of service manuals for
early '80s helium-neon laser-based Pioneer LaserDisc players including the
LD-660, LD-1100, PR-8210, and so forth. I am aware of some Web sites like
the Dragan's Lair Project (http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/,
http://www.d-l-p-archive.com/) which have PDFs for download but
the diagrams and schematics of those are not even barely legible.
The LaserDisc UK Web site (http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/) seems to
have similar scans.

There are also commercial sites like Stereo Manuals
(http://www.stereomanuals.com/) that have original manuals in good condition
but I can't justify the prices just for my curiosity. I can't tell
from some of the other manaul suppliers if what they charge for is any
different than the Dragon's Lair manuals, above.

Anything I obtain would be for information purposes and would not be made
public without permission.

Thanks!

The Pioneer LD-660, LD-1100, PR-8210, Magnavox VH-8010 and Sylvania
VP-7200 are all based on the same Pioneer assemblies.

Phillips (for the Magnavox and Sylvania units) only have photocopies
of the manuals (or at least they did about 10 years ago when I
purchased mine), but I do not think it's complete.

Pioneer used to have the main portion of the manuals (one for each
player) through their parts department, but there is a supplemental
portion of the manual (the same part number for all three models) that
is out of print and I've been unable to find it in 10 years of
looking.

What sort of dimensions were the He-Ne lasing tubes in these m/cs ?
Just curious
