Ed,

Actually, they range from $3 to $38, usually with shipping and
handling additional (although the higher-priced manuals are mostly the
ones that I sell for someone else, who works hard to create them).

Sure! LOGSA and BAMA are well known by those in the sci.electronics
groups, although I doubt that many others can mine LOGSA as thoroughly
as I have. I spent a huge amount of time and effort, and money,
developing and applying technicques for finding obscure manuals there,
and identifying the commercial model designations of the equipment
that they cover.

You needn't worry, though, Ed. Your "frugal types" are usually
hobbyists or students. For them, I have often just GIVEN away the
URLs for manuals (including many of the "unfindable" ones that I
worked so hard for), not to mention at least many hundreds of hours of
free help, advice, and technical consulting. [Of course,
unfortunately, I'll probably have to suspend those policies, for a
while, now that I've had to state them publicly.]

By the way: I buy and resell surplus and used test equipment and
electronics, too. And I also always try to make sure that I have
good-quality student/hobbyist-priced scopes, etc, in stock, even
though they are not profitable. (And, if I have the PDF manuals for
them, I throw those in.) I have spent hundreds of hours educating and
helping newbies who were trying to choose test equipment, and, for
example, parents of very young enthusiasts, who were buying their
first test equipment for their budding hobbyists and scientists.

I have loved electronics since I was a very small child. So I like to
encourage and help others who are interested in it, especially if
they're young, or just need the help.

So: selling manuals and equipment, while necessary for me for the
income it generates, also enables me to provide free help to those who
need it, and to help and encourage those who are just entering or
re-entering the field.

Nevertheless, I still deeply resent the "socialist types" who seem to
think that everything should be "free", or at cost. If that were the
case, I couldn't BE here, and wouldn't HAVE the MEANS to provide the
"newbie help" and the hobbyist/student deals, etc. (Moral: "Be careful
what you wish for. You just might get it.")

Thanks for the reply.

My used-equipment-for-sale pages are at:

http://www.fullnet.com/u/tomg/gooteesu.htm

(Tektronix, HP, and many other makes)

I also have FREE on-line plans for the cheapest and easiest-to-build
decade resistor box "ever", which I designed, at:

http://www.fullnet.com/u/tomg/gooteedr.htm

circuit boards (pcb's), at home, the cheapest, easiest, and fastest
way, which are the product of many years of work and many dollars, on
line for FREE, at:

http://www.fullnet.com/u/tomg/gooteepc.htm

I also sell the excellent curve tracers that I designed, AND KITS for
them, at:

years of intensive research, on line for FREE, for those wanting to
make a REALLY-GOOD PIZZA CRUST (and pizza) at home, at:

http://www.fullnet.com/u/tomg/pizza.htm

I have also collected a huge time-saving resource, which I have put on
line for FREE, that resulted from thousands of hours of my on-line
research, which should save countless hours for other people who are
interested in finding on-line information about things I have been
interested in: Electronics and Its Applications, Tektronix, Computers

Umm how did you spend money at LOGSA or BAMA?

So being a nice guy is now on indefinite hold? And just when I had written
your address on my wall. Darn!

Nevertheless, I still deeply resent the "socialist types" who seem to
think that everything should be "free", or at cost. If that were the
case, I couldn't BE here, and wouldn't HAVE the MEANS to provide the
"newbie help" and the hobbyist/student deals, etc. (Moral: "Be careful

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, but I snipped the balance of your long-winded, multi-market ad once
you started topics from astronomy to vegetables.
You sure do like to advertise!

I don't think it's "socialist" to point out that USA citizens have already
paid for all those LOGSA manuals, and that the information ought to be
freely available to them what has already paid the bill. It's certainly
capitalistic to carve out a market niche, packaging and selling what is
already publicly available. We assume your customers are paying for
convenience (yes, the LOGSA site is rather, uhh, facelessly bureaucratic
<g&gt.

OTOH, don't cry when someone points out that the air is free, and tells
people how to breathe deeply on their own.

BAMA's quite a different thing. The information, and the venue, are all
provided as gifts. Assuming that a newbie only has to acquire the talent to
use FTP, there's not much of a barrier to getting the help yourself. I have
a hard time accepting anyone repackaging those gifts as a saleable product.

Sure! LOGSA and BAMA are well known by those in the sci.electronics

Umm how did you spend money at LOGSA or BAMA?

Well, of course, I didn't spend money AT those sites. But I did buy a
copy of the Federal Logistics database (not cheap), to help I.D. the
stuff at LOGSA. You probably won't be able to find and/or identify
MANY of the manuals that I have, without it. I also paid for a
high-speed connection, just for downloading manuals.

And, by the way: *NONE* of my manuals came from BAMA.

You needn't worry, though, Ed. Your "frugal types" are usually

So being a nice guy is now on indefinite hold? And just when I had written
your address on my wall. Darn!

No. But I thought that I *might* have to watch out for purposeful
attempts to take advantage of my good nature, for a while (by the
"socialist" types, hehe). (Maybe that WAS a little too
paranoid-sounding, hehe.)

Nevertheless, I still deeply resent the "socialist types" who seem to
think that everything should be "free", or at cost. If that were the
case, I couldn't BE here, and wouldn't HAVE the MEANS to provide the
"newbie help" and the hobbyist/student deals, etc. (Moral: "Be careful

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, but I snipped the balance of your long-winded, multi-market ad once
you started topics from astronomy to vegetables.
You sure do like to advertise!

Well, I was TRYING to...

And I don't do advertise very OFTEN, here, at all. But, uh, MOST of
that stuff in my long list was, ahem, **FREE** (just to point out my
good nature, again, hehe).

I don't think it's "socialist" to point out that USA citizens have already
paid for all those LOGSA manuals, and that the information ought to be
freely available to them what has already paid the bill. It's certainly
capitalistic to carve out a market niche, packaging and selling what is
already publicly available. We assume your customers are paying for
convenience (yes, the LOGSA site is rather, uhh, facelessly bureaucratic
g&gt.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. (And of course it's not socialist
to point that out, or to find them yourself, if you can.
[Nevertheless: "Capitalism good. Socialism bad."]) Smart professionals
will pay for a manual they need whenever it's likely to be cheaper for
them to do so than it would be for them to search, find, and download
it for themselves. (Then everybody wins.) Wealthy, lazy people will
pay, too. (Everybody still wins.) And so will uninformed people who
just really need a manual quickly. (Maybe only I win, there. But maybe
they'll learn, eventually.)

The majority of my manual sales are to companies. I guess they don't
want to pay their techs to search for manuals. Makes sense to me.

OTOH, don't cry when someone points out that the air is free, and tells
people how to breathe deeply on their own.

I didn't think that I WAS. People "attacked" and I (probably
foolishly) responded.

BAMA's quite a different thing. The information, and the venue, are all
provided as gifts. Assuming that a newbie only has to acquire the talent to
use FTP, there's not much of a barrier to getting the help yourself. I have
a hard time accepting anyone repackaging those gifts as a saleable product.

I have NEVER, and WOULD never, sell anything from BAMA.

I *HAVE*, however, helped someone who is very closely tied to BAMA to
learn how to find more manuals on LOGSA than he was able to, when I
noticed that they are missing MANY of the additional manuals that are
available as parts of multi-manual sets, on LOGSA. (You CAN find them
at MY site, though, at http://www.fullnet.com/u/tomg/manuals.htm !)

Thanks for the reply, Ed.
