That's the way it goes. Andy is the ideal person to have the items since he keeps pcbs up and running as best possible.

I would have been interested in which obscure game manuals or schematics you had.
For instance, Meadows green colored cover service manuals can be found, but I have yet to see any logic schematics blue print sheets for any of the 1970s era Meadows games. I am begining to think no schematics were ever printed for Meadows games.
Same goes for logic schematics of some of the Chicago Coin video games (except Demolition Derby). As for Chicago Coins schematics of videogames, I only have TV Pin Game and that is it. Chicago Coin mechanical schematics seem to be more in abundance than schematics for their video games.
Another hard-to-find item is blue print logic schematics for Lunar Rescue...the Taito service manual....no problem....but not the case with D-size blue print logic schematics for Lunar Rescue.
