Default Marconi TF893A Manual Required

I have just acquired one of these instruments, and it is proving very useful. However, I'd like to have the manual. Does anybody have one ? I have seen the 'manual' for the TF893, but this doesn't have a full schematic, and mechanically, it's quite different.
Thanks for any offers. I can copy and return, paying all costs, if necessary.
Cheers,
Alan

Hello Alan,

A not so quick Google revealed a free PDF manual -

Hi Michael,
How did you find that ? I'm so embarrassed. The first thing I did was google, and went down to about the 8th page. A few manuals for sale, but no free ones.
Thanks very much,
Alan

Hello Alan,

More by luck than judgement!

It was on Google page 1, third entry for

'Marconi TF-893A manual'

(The hyphen was apparently critical for some strange reason.)

Marconi TF868 series. There are several different variants, with fairly significant changes over the amplifier/ chopper circuitry.
TF868 of 1946, TF868/1 of 1955, TF868/A of 1957, TF868B of 1958. I suspect you have found the one appropriate to your model. If stuck, then I have details of all of them. WME_Bill.

Michael,

Yes, it was the hyphen. Something to remember for next time ! Found it this time; the 4th entry, the extra one being my enquiry here on vintage-radio.net.
Thanks again,
Alan
