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.

Bomba de agua
La bomba de agua no precisa mantenimiento alguno. Sólo es necesario abrir la tapa del filtro en caso de averÃa si ya no se desagua, p.ej. en caso de bloqueo del rodete de la bomba. Antes de introducir la ropa, cerciórese siempre de que no se encuentran cuerpos extraños en los bolsillos o entre la ropa. Clips, clavos, etc. que puedan haber llegado con la ropa a la lavadora quedan atrapados en la caja de la bomba (trampa para cuerpos extraños que protege el rodete de la bomba).

¡Advertencia! ¡Antes de abrir la tapa del filtro, desconecte la lavadora y desenchúfela! 1. Efectúe primero un desagüe de emergencia. 2. Tienda un trapo de fregar en el suelo delante de la tapa del filtro de agua. Sale agua restante. 3. Desenrosque la tapa de la bomba en sentido antihorario y extráigala.
4. Elimine los cuerpos extraños, asà como la pelusilla, de la caja y del rodete de la bomba.
5. Compruebe si el rodete de la bomba atrás del todo en la caja de la bomba se puede girar. (El giro a sacudidas del rodete de bomba es normal.) Si no fuera posible girar el rodete de la bomba, llame al Servicio postventa. 6. Inserte la tapa de la bomba. Introduzca las almas en la tapa lateralmente en las ranuras de guÃa y enrosque la tapa en el sentido de las agujas del reloj. 7. Cierre la manguera de desagüe de emergencia y deposÃtela en su soporte. 8. Cierre la tapa del zócalo. 23
