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.

Door Reversal
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. 2. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packaging. 3. Prize out the two white screw covers from the ventilation grille at the bottom of the appliance. 4. Remove the two securing screws and remove the grille. 5. Unscrew the bottom hinge. 6. Remove the door by releasing it from the middle hinge. 7. Unscrew the middle hinge. 8. Slide out the fridge door from the pin, unscrew the pin and then screw it into the hinge blade provided on the opposite side. 9. Refit the fridge door on the opposite side and replace the middle hinge to the left hand side. 10. Replace the door and bottom hinge on the opposite side. 11. Remove the plug from the ventilation grille in the direction of the arrow (1) and insert it on the opposite side (2). 12. Refit the ventilation grille. Secure with the two screws and push in the screw covers. 13. Return the appliance to its upright position. Important After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
