Default Redifon R408 manual

Hello,
Does anybody have a copy of the manual for the Redifon R408 receiver. I can find brief descriptions of it on sites such as RadioMuseum but no trace of a service manual. Can anybody help please?
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I have the manual for the R408. It is in two parts, the text (86MB zipped) and the circuits(24MB zipped).
As these are big files can I send them to your email address or do we need to do something more sophisticated.
Let me know

Hello Peter,

I will send you a PM

I have a R408B that has been doing nothing in my garden shed/workshop for the last 25 years. Prior to that it was also doing nothing at the back of a cupboard in the HF research lab at ASWE for many years.

I thought this winter I might exercise my brain by resurrecting it.
If I could get a copy of the manual files, I would be most grateful.

Hello John,
Peter very kindly provided me with a complete set of manuals. I have my set almost working, although the dial drive has defeated me...
I will ask him if he is happy with me providing you with a copy.
