Default Re: Mauritron now Gone? No they're still in business!

I purchased an original colour–printed, but dog–eared, TQ D65/D66 manual off eBay and when I received it it turned out to be the exact one Mauritron did their (very ropey!) scan from, all the pen marks, hand scribbles on the diagrams, parts lists, etc., matched up exactly!

The instruction manual has a lot of troubleshooting info as well as voltage charts.

Doesn't have the schematic though (available in post #23 above).

Just as an update, which may help, I have tried a number of times to enquire about any information for the Hudson FM208 (using different emails, just in case) and after a number of weeks they all have gone unanswered. Maybe the automated ordering system for the listed manuals works, but as far as querries go, there seems to be a similarity to the famed Norweigan Blue parrot.

When I ordered from them in May 2021 the email was from mauritron7@gmail.com however I don't know if that is still valid or if they are still trading.

He no longer seems to have control of the mauritron.com domain name.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that my attempts via their web-site contact page were during early November 2023.

Mauritron is (was?) also selling the manuals through UniSquare - it worked for me a few months back for a manual I was looking for.

On the other hand, a couple of months ago I was looking for another manual and I contacted a few sources, including Mauritron through the website contact page (http://www.servicemanuals.plus.com/html/contact_us.html), and there was no reply to that contact request at all.
