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 the jpgs, 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.  For the PDFs, of course, you'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

NEW! Vox Continental 300/301 schematics

Gibson G201 Service Manual 6.8MB
Gibson G101 Service Manual 36MB PDF (Thanks to Greg Soldano)
      (Gibson still provides photocopies of these manuals for free, but the ones I have here  are of much higher quality.  Many thanks to the GIbson Guitar Corp for permission to publish them here) 

Lowrey T2 Service Manual 16.8MB
Lowrey T1 Service Manual 6.4MB
     (Thanks to Doug Moore and the Lowrey Organ Co. for permission to publish these)

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 one easier to follow than the other. 

Rheem Mark VII Combo Organ (Thanks to Doug Moore)
The circuit titled "N200-4-A" is actually three circuits - the Vibrato (which is duplicated on the Overall Schematic), the low-C bass divider, and the shared bass divider for the lowest octave. 12MB

Rheem Kee Bass (Thanks to Doug Moore) 1.0MB

Vox Continental, model V301H (US-made) (Thanks to Greg Soldano) 227KB

Kustom Kombo (Thanks to Matt Farrow) 313KB

Fender Contempo (Thanks to Fender Musical Instruments Corp. for allowing me to publish this)
 You might have trouble printing it, unless you cut it up into 8-1/2" x 11" pieces. 463KB

GEM Mini 242KB

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

Farfisa VIP-345 (Acrobat Reader required)  (Thanks to Frank T.) 1.4MB

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!)

Vox Continental 300  This excellent set of schematics is provided by Norman Dickinson.  Normal re-drew most of these in CAD, using the original Thomas/EME schematics.  Several of them he "reverse-engineered", re-creating the schematic from the actual circuit.  This is probably the best and most extensive set of Vox schemtics you'll find anywhere.  The only circuits missing from the set are the Vibrato and the voice filters. 730KB
