Thanks so much for the Owner's manual for my Sony PS - FL1. I had purchased the turntable off of eBay. It came in and looked great. Packed well and appeared to be great. I balanced and aligned the tone are and hooked it up. When trying to play a record the tone are would move to the right place and just before it would drop to play it moved back off the edge of the record before touching down. I searched the net for an answer to this issue. No luck. Then I purchased the owners manual and sure enough there was a place to adjust where the stylus touched down. That adjustment solved the problem and saved me a $35 feet to have the player checked out. The manual is well written and easy to understand. It is a must have for anyone with this front loading Sony turntable.
Some years back I pruchased a Sansui G-9000. I had it cleaned up and a problem with the left channel repaired. When I got it back I hooked it up to my tape decks, turn tables, TV and it played great. The only thing I was not really satisfied with was the performance of my Graphic Equalizer. I purchased this owner's manual had poured myself a cup of coffee. The manual is well organized and written in plain language. It also contained the solution to my dissatisfaction. By using the preamp connections coupled I was able to run everything through my graphic equalizer and now enjoy the full potential of my complete system.
An excellent service for the price, however, it would also have been handy if the troubleshooter pages were included. The manual is only sent in the language of your country, thus it looks as though there are some pages missing. Otherwise highly recommended.
I am happy to get a rare TECHNICS SH-9090 Owner's Manual by PDF in clear copy.

Remove the grease grille and wash them either by hand or in the dishwasher using neutral detergent. Any fat deposits should be removed from the appliance periodically depending on amount of use (at least every 2 months). Avoid using abrasive or corrosive products. To clean painted appliances on the outside, use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and washing up liquid. To clean steel, copper or brass appliances on the outside, it is always best to use specific products, following the instructions on the products themselves. To clean the inside of the appliance, use a cloth (or brush) dipped in denatured ethyl alcohol.
Assembly under a wall cupboard The following operations are essential for assembly: � Install the wiring system � Prepare the air venting outlet if your appliance is to be installed in the Ducting version. Installation as indicated in Fig. 5: Using the template make the 4 necessary fixing holes in the bottom of the cupboard and cut the air vent hole. Move the hood close to the bottom of the wall unit and then connect the two units by means of the 4 self-tapping screws supplied together with the appliance. Installation with brackets as in Fig. 6 (optional): Take the two brackets (S) out of the accessory bag together with the 8 screws provided. Fit the brackets to the wall unit being careful to position these correctly; for this operation use the 4 longer screws. At this point, secure the appliance to the brackets using the 4 shorter screws. Ducting version: fit the flange of the hood with the air vent hole made previously in the wall/ceiling by means of an suitable tube. Connect the mains cable to the electricity supply. Assemble the grease grille with the hood, inserting it with the front edge upwards. Filtering version: fit a suitable hose to the flange of the hood so that the air is recirculated back into the room. Connect the mains cable to the electricity supply. Fit the charcoal filter inside the grease grille securing it by means of the 2 metal wires supplied (F), as indicated in Fig. 3. Assemble the grease grille with the hood, inserting it with the front edge upwards.
DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------The appliance can be used in both the filtering and ducting version. In the Filtering version (Fig. 1), the air and vapours conveyed by the appliance are depurated by charcoal filter(s) and recirculated around the room. ATTENTION: Using the hood as a filtering one it is necessary to use the charcoal filter(s) that purifies the air sent back into the room. In the Ducting version (Fig. 2), cooking vapour and odours are exhausted straight outside by a disposal duct which passes through the wall/ceiling. Use of charcoal filter is therefore unnecessary. According to the model you have bought, the appliance can include 1 or 2 motors. In the 1 motor version the flange for the air to be exhausted has not got a central position, but it is slightly on the left.
