Correct manual received and of good quality but the contents of the file for the Service Manual for the same monitor is for a 20" TV not the RGB Monitor.
The owners manual for the Pioneer VSX-D603S was exactly what I needed. I received it in a timely manor and it was priced fairly. I definately will use your servise again. Thank You
This is a great manual. It was easy to read and very accurate. The size of the manual is small so email is no problem. I highly recommend it. The manual is very hard to find other than this website.
Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.

9. History: The story behind the Electro 2 instruments
NORD ELECTRO 2 V2.0x
As shown here, Rhodes electric pianos had a different key-mechanism design than what was used in Wurlitzer electric pianos. The Rhodes mechanism was of simpler construction.
The Rhodes Mark II is very similar in design to the Mark I. The differences include an improved mechanical design, plastic hammers with neoprene rubber instead of felt. The keys were made of plastic and metal; previously, wood was used.
A Rhodes electric piano shown under-the-hood. The basic patent in the Rhodes comprised the tine, or metallic asymmetric tuning fork, which made the actual tone. The upper metal parts are the legs of the tuning forks; the underneath parts comprise the tines. The black part mounted on one of the upper tuning forks helps alleviate unwanted harmonics.
This shows quite well the tuning-fork design with the tines. This model features plastic hammers with neoprene tips. The dampers are underneath the tines. Note the springs attached to each tine. Moving them tuned the note. The coils are the white things to the left in the figure. The photo also shows the solution for tuning lower notes when the leg of the tuning fork needs to be curved to get the right balance and tone (top of picture).
Here is another viewing angle that illustrates the action of a Rhodes electric piano's mechanics. The lower note has been hit and the damper is now muting the decay. A secondary note is going to be hit. You also can see the magnet tip. In this case, the piano has been adjusted to "deep" timbre. You can see that the tine is set a bit above the center of the magnet tip.
