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.

Operating Instructions
If the washing results are not satisfactory
If the washing has turned grey and if limescale is deposited in the drum, then � Too little detergent was used. � The wrong detergent was used. � Special soiling was not pre-treated. � Program or temperature not set correctly. � If multi-component detergents are used, the individual components were not used in the correct ratio. If there are still grey spots on the washing, � Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with too little detergent. � Too lower temperature was used for washing. � A frequent cause is that softener - particularly that in concentrated form - has reached the washing. Wash out such spots quickly and use the softener concerned carefully. If at the end of the last rinse foam is still visible � Modern detergents can also cause foam in the last rinse. However, the washing is still sufficiently rinsed. If there are white remnants on the washing � These are insoluble components of modern detergents. They are not the result of an insufficient rinsing effect. Shake or brush out the washing. In future, perhaps you should turn the washing inside out before washing it. Examine your choice of detergent and if necessary use liquid detergent.
