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.

CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Abrasives must also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel or painted finishes.
CLEANING THE STAINLESS BRUSHED STEEL CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and door handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE STAINLESS BRUSHED STEEL FINISH.
CLEANING INSIDE THE MAIN OVENS
The vitreous enamel oven interiors can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials,e.g. Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately. Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK RUNNERS AND OVEN FURNITURE
Soak the oven shelves, wirework runners and grilling grid in hot soapy water if heavily soiled, they will then clean more easily. If the shelves are heavily soiled a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used. The grill pan, meat tin and trivet can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. All items of grill and oven furniture are dishwasher safe with the exception of the grill pan handle.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS
The wirework runners in both ovens can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom and gently pull towards the centre of the oven. 3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove it from the cavity. 4. To replace, hook the wirework back into the oven sides.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.
Ensure that the wirework runners are firmly in place before refitting the oven shelves.
