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.

The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of fresh food compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance. In case of increased demand e.g. during heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate constantly. During this the automatic defrosting is ineffective. Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the fresh food compartment after defrosting period is not abnormal. The frozen food compartment can not be equipped with automatic defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen foods do not endure melting temperature. So the enclosed plastic scraper is for scraping off and removing frost and ice coating which possibly occurs in the frozen food compartment and on the sealing of the door. The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the appliance! When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed with the plastic scraper, the frozen food compartment has to be defrosted (generally 2-3 times a year). Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh food compartment, wrap them into some layers of paper or cloth. Put them to a possible cool place while defrosting. Break the circuit of the appliance and leave the doors of frozen and fresh food compartment open. Continuously blot off the defrosting water by a soft cloth or sponge. After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply voltage to the appliance and put the foods back to their places. It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermostatic control so that it can reach the proper storing temperature as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning
It is recommended to wash the inside of the refrigerator in 3-4 weeks time. Household cleaner or soap must not be used. After you made it no-current wash the appliance using lukewarm water and wipe it. Clean the magnet door rubber profile with clean water. After cleaning plug the appliance to the mains socket. 25
