If anyone has an assembly manual or a kit-build manual they'd like to share, and are willing to ship it to me, I'll scan it and return it to you promptly. Of course I made that promise to one doner and promptly went down with the flu for two weeks, spent four weeks recovering and two months catching up on my life. I'll try not to do that again.

Most of these manulas are scanned at ridiculously high resolution, resulting in very large files. If you don't have a high speed internet connection, just PM me through the Folbot forum and I'll send you a CD.

In most cases, the pages are scanned and cropped so they will print out on standard paper sizes. The SJK manual is an example - sized to print on 8 1/2" x 14" (legal size) paper. The scans are such that you can print full size on the paper, double sided and they will stack, fold and staple into a booklet just like the original Folbot manual.

If anyone needs the pages separated for printing single-side on standard 8 1/2" x 11" (letter size), I'll break them up and post them that way as well. Just PM me and let me know. Of course, if you're handy with Irfanview, you can mangle them any way you want them.
