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.

Oven Cavity The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner. If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled down, the following process will help to soften the splatters to help make cleaning easier.
1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf
positioned in the lowest runner. 2. Add a few drops of wasing-up liquid to the pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water from the kettle. 3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob on fan oven knob on 50°C. and set the thermostat
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and allow the fan oven to continue without heat for a further 5 minutes, when the temperature of the water will have cooled down. 5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven and use normal oven cleaners to clean away soil residues. 6. Leave a little of soapy water to soak into any burned on spillage on the floor of the oven for a longer time if necessary. Oven Shelves To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure when refitting the shelf support.
Grease Filter To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the grease filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents in the back panel. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof. To clean the grease filter When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and wash carefully. Remember to refit the filter before using the oven again.
