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.

11 Clean the water distribution disc with a moist cloth. Be careful when you do this; make sure that the rubber sealing ring does not get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc. If it does, the coffee machine will start leaking!
Flushing If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it again. Flush the machine in the following way: 1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it back into the machine.
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine without pod(s). 3 Close the lid and lock the lever.
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt./1.5 litres) under the coffee spout to collect the water.
5 Press on/off button 3 (1) and subsequently press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq/w briefly at the same time (2). The machine fills itself with water from the water reservoir. While this happens, water comes out of the spout. When the flushing cycle is finished, the machine switches itself off. During the flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler will not fill itself properly. Repeat step 5 if the cycle is interrupted.
