Schematics and Manuals
Why pay high prices for photocopies or scans of manuals on eBay or elsewhere on the web? Get 'em here for free! Most of the manuals here are probably of as high a quality as you'll find anywhere, if not better. The images are mostly 300dpi, suitable for printing
The links below are to Zip files containing scanned images of the schematics. . For viewing, I recommend Irfanview, which is available for free at www.irfanview.com. For a good Zip program, I use Iceows, but any Zip program should do.
NEW! Gibson, Lowrey Service Manuals! (Magnus 3D, too!)
Note: If you have either the Gibson G201 or the Lowrey T2, get both manuals. While the circuitry is nearly identical, and all the schematics are contained in each, there are several good diagrams that are unique to each manual. Plus, the schematic styles are different, and you may find easier to follow than the other.

Rheem Mark VII Combo Organ

Farfisa Compact (Adobe Acrobat Reader required) This is for the basic Compact, not the Deluxe or Duo, although about 80% of the circuitry is the same. (Thanks to Matty for scanning these) 3.8MB
Farfisa Compact Extras These are a few extras that aren't included in the PDF - they're not as high a quality, though. The Power Supply/Preamp/Reverb schematic is somewhat different from the one included in the PDF. 577KB
Magnus 3D Owners Manual This one's a hoot to read. From the glowing terms and colorful descriptions, you'd think this thing was a B3, Rhodes and Vox Continental all rolled into one! (many thanks to Mark for supplying this one) 30MB (a BIG one - get ready for a looong download!)
