Don't waste the time that should be dedicated to repair on the frustrations of
searching for a decent service manual and only finding the same useless scans,
copied ad infinitum by everyone.

Here is a site with only high quality, high resolution service manuals, most of them
of them carefully cleaned, restored and often partially re-drawn. Here you will find
no unreadable 72dpi drawings, large schematics photographed with a smartphone or
manuals with crucial pages missing. Here you get what you need for the job and get
on with it. Free downloads instead of paying silly money for an email ith attachment.

While more manuals have been added continuously, the costs for the needed server
space have grown along with that. Many of the scanned manuals you will find here
had to be bought as printed originals from the manufacturers first and also the
necessary hardware needed replacement. Most of this is funded privately, but the
limit to this budget was reached a long time ago and the upkeep has become painful.
Yes, you knew it was coming... donations.
When this service is useful to you, and you not only want it to continue but to expand as
well, that's the way to see the list grow. Contributions received will immediately result in
more server space, giving room for more service documents, including rare field bulletins.
Boxes full of technical information are also still waiting to be scanned, often 70's or 80's
photocopies, needing many hours of painstaking restoration before they are uploaded.
Donations will also open the way for later additions, such as synth chip datasheets,
a large collection of synthesizer spec sheets, etc. Your donation will help to make this
site a database for synth technicians as never before available on the world wide web.

ENJOY!

SERVICE MANUALS & SCHEMATICS for vintage electronic musical instruments LATEST ADDITIONS February 23 Elka Wilgamat I - Schematics Finally finished bringing it up to the quality level I prefer for this site, replacing the preliminary upload. Went a bit too far, ending up with redrawing about 95 percent of it. Sorry, not going to repeat that for the whole stack of Elka manuals, because that would take the rest of the year, blocking other important documents. December 21 Waldorf Microwave - OS Upgrade 2.0 data December 18 Steim Crackle-Box (Kraakdoos) - Schematic & Etch-board Layouts ATTENTION! For all Facebook friends, following my Synfo page...my account will be blocked and disappear. Facebook tries to bully me into uploading a portrait video, showing my face from all sides, creating a file with high value for data traders. Such data can be used for educating AI, incorporation in face recognition software and ultimately for government control. No video? Account removed! That's too bad, but I will NOT comply. I don't know if this will be the standard FB requirement in the future or if this is a reaction on my opinion about Trump and Zuckerberg, identifying me as a social media terrorist. So I'll be looking for another social surrounding to keep people informed about whatever is happening here and what's added. BlueSky? Discord? Something else? Got to see what they are like (when time allows) but advise is welcome. Of course I can still be reached at info@synfo.nl
