Hello
Look at this ebay auction for a large set of referance manuals. This may be something that Jim may want for this website.

Wow. $99 is too rich for my blood but I'd be willing to contribute a portion to have access.

Likewise.
I'd give $15.00 so that it can be owned by one of the group. No good to me but I'm sure its invaluable to some people here.

Wow, now that's a manual!
I think this goes back to the Manuals thread. What should we make available, and what should we not make available on the web? I would be willing to put some on the web (the non-mainstream items maybe), but I would like more of Jim's input - the discussion kind of died in the other thread. Too bad this was not discovered earlier in the auction.
(Thinking out loud here) One idea that I have is to make the manual links more "secure" and have to user be logged in to see the manual section of the forum (which would contain links to the manuals - where ever they are hosted). Atari Age (atariage.com) did this in their forum for the politics and religion section - don't know if it is possible with Ikonboard.
I think Jim should have the final say-so in this since he is the owner of the board and people will go after him, or away from him (sponsors).
I'll pitch in $15 for the cause since I'm sure that there is some stuff that we could use.

Another idea is not to post them at all but have them avaliable to whomever asks for them. For example someone can scan the manuals and send it to a person in charge of the manuals. Then we just have a sticky thread that is a list of available manuals so members can see if what they need is available. Then when someone wants a copy they just email that one person in charge and they in return email them a free copy of the manual in PDF form. It would just be friends sharing there manuals with each other. That way SMC isn't responsible for providing the manuals on the web.

I'm going to call the seller tomorrow morning.
In order to get decent reproductions for our use, we need to be sure they are quality reproductions already... Scanning a cheap copy will bleed through from back to front; not very desireable.

$15.00 into the project for me as well. Think scanning that much material is just too much of chore for any one person. Maybe just a photocopy or two of the orginal that could be checked out in sections. Make whatever you like for your own use while you have that section on loan. Looks to be a great bit of history.

I just had a garage sale to get me the extra money for stuff like this. I'll put the bid in not to beat Ceighten but to get it here so I can get it scanned for everyone. I'll put it on cd's etc by machine/topic if you like and when needed get it to that person. Also if a section is made I'll put it on this site for everyone. I hope you do help with the funds. I don't have knowledge of the machines yet, but can definately help out in this way. Wish me luck.

That was close. Being in the forces I guess he knows how to deal with snipers! Tim - we we're all joking about helping out with the payments. Thanks for taking one for the team 
Just joking. Let us know how we can get checks to you. You should ask the seller to ship via USPS media mail. I'm pretty sure that it's the cheapest and can still be insured.

Count me in on contributing money to the purchase and let us know the best avenue for payments...
At a later date, I can create a "Members Section" that is password protected so we can share the manual documents...

I'm glad that I was able to help. I was concerned that someone would try just like they did to sneak in and get this and that is the only reason I bid like I did. I have a digital sender that will allow me to stack quite a few pages at once. Probably 50 or so no problem. Once I see for sure how the binders are broken down I'll separate each topic and scan individually. I also will be able to scan what is needed as photos in order to keep the quality A-1. The way I've used the scanner do big projects it usually separates into about 2 meg .pdf files. This makes emailing the files a breeze. I'm new to Ebay and PayPal and how you would be able to send the funds that way. Once I have the manuals and everything here we can worry about the funds.
As for Ebay or any other site name if you see a timsmore out there I'm pretty sure that it is me. I haven't had to add any extra digits to it yet.

Tim - you need to have a Paypal Premier account setup to receive payments. And when people make payments to you Paypal is going to take a cut.
This is your call, but given that you bought the manuals on trust, I'd suggest that we just send you personal checks. Everyone that is willing to chip in can send you a PM with our email address. You then send a single email with everybody's share and the mailing address where you want the checks sent. That way your address isn't 'recorded' in the forums and you don't need to PM everyone individually.
PS - I'd like to see the Vendo23 manuals as soon as possible. Looks like I'm buying one tomorrow.

I added up all of our $15.00 pledges, totaled $195.00 so far.
I'm still using dial-up networking, and downloading the files I'm interested in would be a headache. Could the info also be copied onto CD disks? I'd buy the Vendo / VMC and Cavalier disks, if they were available, maybe more......

All is paid for and now waiting for the shipment from Texas. About $170 with the shipping. I have many PMs on the subject. (everyone loves me now) Anyway if you will send me a PM I will send you my address. I can scan the pages and also put them in an email or on a disk if you don't have the ability yourself to do it from the emailed file. If the files end up to large I'll let you know of any changes should they arise in the email availability due to size but I think everything will be OK. $15.00 seems to be the average for everyone's donation ability so I'll keep it at that price per manual that you need copied. Send the requests that you need and I'll start copying in the sequence they hit my email and I'll give my address via email to you at that time also.

I own a couple of print shops that has equiptment with high speed scanning that will burn to cd directly. Let me know if I can be of any assistence here. I have recieved so much free advise from the likes of Allan Huffman(Antique Vending), Curtis from (Memory lane reprodictions) and Matt Carter, that I feel I ought to give some back. I could scan in the documnets an offer Cds to members for a small fee or I could reproduce the manuals in hard copy at my costs. I am sure it would be significally less then the e-bay selling price. Let me know if I can help.
