One of the biggest problems we have as Amateurs is trying to find a schematic, diagram, or operating instructions for that XYZ radio we picked up on a swap net, flea market or was given to us to repair or use ourselves.

Entering manuals into a search engine on the web can be traumatic due to the number of hits returned.

Thanks to searching by Club members, here is a list of some online sources for manuals, mods, operating instructions, diagrams, etc for some of that equipment that got separated from its manuals.

W.J. Ford Surplus Enterprises - over 10,000 manuals on hand, most available on a rental basis (like a library).
