Anybody still got, by any remote chance, a schematic for a Grundig Yacht Boy
model 208 that they could scan and let me have pronto ?

Note that the model number is very specific. There were many different
radios produced by Grundig under the "Yacht Boy" flag. I'm sure that there
must have been a "Trader" service sheet for it, but all of mine have long
since gone ...

I just did a google test, 62k hits on the subject, 1.7k, specifying
"Service Manuals"

Of course, the only hitch is, you need to give them money !

Is there a problem with that?

I find that if a quick search does not yield a decent print that gives
me all that I need, Putting that much time into looking for it in
general, warrants paying a nominal fee for a service manual that is in
good shape.

Don't be cheap!

Yeah. Right. But hardly in the spirit of usenet, is it ? Over many years, I
have given freely of my time, professional expertise, and many thousands of
service manuals to any and all who have asked on this group. I have spent
hours scanning paper originals just to help out someone who needs a
schematic. Am I really being "cheap" as you so quaintly put it, asking
occasionally for someone to reciprocate ? No ? I don't think so either,

If they don't have it try de.sci.electronics. I think I've seen a post
or two from you there before. Posting in English is ok and the chances
of someone having such a schematic is a lot higher than here. Yacht Boy
radios were sort of a "must have" among German travelers.

If all else fails, this guy seems to have it for 5 Euros:

Oh big deal, shit head!.

I can say that I am not a sucking leach of the likes of you and what
you're trying to promote..

It's bad enough that you have be an ignoramus leach, you need to go
on and promote it for others to do also.

You cheap, leach sucking good for nothing shit head and most likely
always have your hands out for something that's free while you stab the
knife in their back as they walk away..

Yes, I know you voted for Obama, just so that you could become part
of his free loaders on top of what you already do..

P.S.

I just happen to be one of those working class that must pay for
leaches like you.

Its a shame that many get lead down that dark path by the likes of you.

What a prize.
 
Oh boy. I wish I'd never asked ... Thanks to the sensible respondents

That's all well and fine how ever, that would mean that monetary
exchange would have to take place, it's obvious something that
"Michael A. Terrell" feels shouldn't be practiced.

I've paid a lot over the years for service manuals and had no issues
doing so. The information given is well worth it, how ever, you have
some that'll give you a song and dance like they only need it for their
own personal reference and end up of course, laughing all the way to the
bank as they make their mark on the final results!.

That's real gratitude for you.
Service manuals are like test equipment. Should one also expect the
equipment to be freely given out? Oh yeah, the shipping and packaging
should also be included for free.!

Oh big deal, shit head!.

What am I trying to promote? I tell someone where they can find the
information they need, usually for free.

It's bad enough that you have be an ignoramus leach, you need to go
on and promote it for others to do also.

Ignoramus? Wow, did your mommy spell that for you? You are the one
who rarely posts anything that makes sense, like another of yours today
about a 'bus bare'. Its no wonder you rarely post on
sci.electronics.design any more. Everyone there knows you are useless.


You cheap, leach sucking good for nothing shit head and most likely
always have your hands out for something that's free while you stab the
knife in their back as they walk away..

Yawn. you are afraid to tell anyone where you supposedly work, troll.

I am retirement age and no longer able to work, thanks to the
Veterans Administration. While working, I engineered at three TV
stations, one which I built from an empty building. I built
communication equipment for the International Space Station. A turnkey
earth station for NOAA's LEO earth stations to receive their weather
data that included tracking controls for their 100 foot sat dishes. the
improved design locked onto their birds a full five minutes over the
horizon, due to the improved Doppler compensation we developed. I
worked on both tracking stations for the European Space Agency. One
fixed system and one mobile, since they don't have the empty space that
NASA does for their launches.

I give away a lot of free computer equipment to the disabled and low
income families in my area, even though it costs me money to pick it up
and test it to keep it out of the landfill.


Yes, I know you voted for Obama, just so that you could become part
of his free loaders on top of what you already do..

YAwn. No, I didn't vote for your pimp. As a sign here said, 'Vote
for the old dude and the hot chick!'
P.S.

I just happen to be one of those working class that must pay for
leaches like you.

You couldn't pay for a Big Mac on what you get for being a janitor.
I worked most of my life, including time in the US army where I tested
out of a three year engineering school. Its easy to find me in the DOD
personnel records database, if you have enough clearance to search them.



Its a shame that many get lead down that dark path by the likes of you.

What dark path? You are the one with 666 on your forehead. :)



What a prize.

Your mother lied to you. You are no prize. Its time for you to
empty the trash cans again.

for 8 years.

For 2 weeks I added a stat-tracker to those files, requiring excessive

overnight when USA is awake. I know from the symptoms and make and model put
into search engines , about 3 people a week got spot on diagnosis of
repairs, over those 2 weeks.
Guess how many donations I've made to charity over those 8 years?

Thanks a lot Mr Cook sir. You are indeed a gentleman and a scholar ! If it
makes it easier, I am mainly interested in the bit of schematic that has the
battery / AC-DC switching / power on-off switching on it.

I hope that your dentist is as good as mine, and doesn't cause you too much
grief ! Have a good weekend.

I've long suspected that you really were in New Jersey, and faking the whole

England.
