On closer inspection each diagram is spread across 3 pages with lots of overlap. This makes it all but impossible to read the diagrams properly. So, this morning I spent a few hours with scissors and cello-tape to cut and join each diagram so it is usable. There are 10 diagrams in all. I can't say I'm impressed having paid for the thing. Anyway, now at least I can start to see if it will help me fix my SM112.

I know what you mean about paying for this info - it is a bit of a rip -off bearing in mind that those who supply it mostly haven't paid for it - they've just archived it and don't even have to print and post it - you download it and there's no work involved at their end once they've set it up. Copyright is a murky thing, and most copyright holders have often long since gone out of business or lost interest in long since obsolete gear, and may not even have the info in their own archives if the firm is still in business.
That said, despite the poor quality of the info, if you deploy as much expertise on tracing and repairing the fault on your scope as you did on restoring your Pye radio, you'll have it fixed in no time John!
Best of luck with it.
