wrf 3,133 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've started this thread to chart progress on making a small blizzard of documents available. They are from Rolando (roguico). He has kindly made them available. They are primarily Lightstar and Carver pro material. So far we haven't found any Lightstar schematics - but we (thanks to Zumbini) are looking. There is some fascinating promotional material and several original Lightstar service bulletins. Please give Rolando a big round of applause. He went to considerable effort to make these available. Teaser -- he may even have more! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumbini 6,122 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not yet Wayne and that's my fault. I'd planned to finish cataloging the digital files in a few days but life got in the way. Hoping to get back to the task soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumbini 6,122 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm working on the Sunfire documents now. Mostly brochures, reviews and spec sheets so far. However, I peeked in the Sunfire Service folders and found some goodies: schematics for Cinema Grand 17" 2 and 7 channel amps schematics for a receiver schematics for the amp and receiver downconverter circuits schematics for the Super Junior sub 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahash5150 9,796 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Great news, and thank you for all your work Dom. There are manuals out there, but no willingness to offer them to the sites/public...so exceptions like these are appreciated. Truly very generous and genuine of all involved. Thank you!

zumbini 6,122 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Part 1 of Rolando's Sunfire documents is complete. (Mostly brochures and user manuals.) I'll try to finish the rest tonight or tomorrow and start uploading the actual files to CS! via FTP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ar9Jim 4,659 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Wow. That's an awesome amount of info. being added to the site by the Great Zumbini! Thanks for being so selfless and giving your time to the site, so others may benefit. Your pics and illustrations are truly worth 1000 words and play a huge part in making CS "the place to be". Thank you Dom.. I have learned a lot from your post, and its an honor to call you friend.. Thanks again to Rolando. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
