wrf 3,123 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 @BobTFM35 has been at it again. He contributed a Sunfire Subrosa Installation Manual and a Phase Linear 8000 Turntable Service Manual. Both fairy rare. They are now available in the Manuals data base. Thanks Bob!! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrf 3,123 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Once again, @BobTFM35 has dropped a new manual. This time a service manual for SD/A-410 CD Player. Available now in the Manuals database. Thanks again Bob. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 3,765 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I have a couple of manuals for some Carver programmable remotes that I recently acquired from @AndrewJohnthat can be uploaded somewhere. I need to photo them and organize them first. Probably do that this weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrf 3,123 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Folks have been busy gathering manuals. @BobTFM35 and @Will Meyer have both contributed manuals. I've also found a few lurking in dark corners of the server, hidden from view. Here's a list of what's been added. I'll continue looking in the odd folder for more treasures. If you sent me something that's not on this list (an not in documents area), let me know. It may have somehow escaped my dragnet. Carver AV-505 parts and schematics Carver CM-2002 Owners Manual Carver CMV-1185 Owners Manual Carver CT-24 Owners Manual Carver C-15v Schematics Phase Linear 1100 Series Two Equalizer Owners Manual Phase Linear 1100 Series Two Equalizer Service Manual Phase Linear 1200 Series Two Analyzer Owners Manual Phase Linear 1200 Series Two Analyzer Service Manual Phase Linear 1300 Noise Reduction Service Manual Phase Linear 200 Series Two Amplifier Owners Manual Phase Linear 300 Series Two Amplifier Owners Manual Phase Linear 300 Series Two Amplifier Service Manual Phase Linear 3300 Series Two Preamp Owners Manual Phase Linear 3500 Series Two Preamp Service Manual Phase Linear 6000 Series Two Audio Delay Service Manual Phase Linear 700 Series Two Amplifier Owners Manual Phase Linear DRS 900 Amplifier Service Manual Phase Linear P3800 Preamp Service Manual 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packratt 361 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 One to be on the lookout for is a tfm15 service manual with legible schematics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K6BUK 23 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I noticed in the manual section there is a preliminary manual - Carver C-9 Sonic Hologram Generator Preliminary Owner Manual.PDF. I have the Preliminary Owner Manual for the C-4000 and noticed it wasn't listed. Is it something of interest for the group? Is it something that is a must have for Carver manual collectors? If anyone is interested I could probably upload it although I don't think I have been on the site long enough to have privileges to upload a .pdf. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warm thanks to the management and members past and present. Thanks Bob, Will, Wayne, RichP, Nahash, DennisMiller and everyone who has contributed to this beautiful resource over many years. It helps a lot of people keep their vintage Carver designs running, so they can continue to enjoy the music.

Rob 3,765 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 So, I have tried to scan these manuals as docs, PDF's, photos, and even tried to compress them and they are still to large of a file to upload here. I am using a MAC to do all this. Any ideas from you guys to make them a smaller file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTFM35 906 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 @Rob What is the size of the largest file and the format that it's in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 3,765 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I scanned it to a PDF both pic & doc and it was like 54mb and 80mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTFM35 906 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 That's a tough job trying to reduce the files and still maintaining any quality of images and schematics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrf 3,123 Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Thanks to @BobTFM35 and @mddawson I've posted a fascinating Audio Magazine interview with Bob in the "manuals" database. New category of stuff too. Look for it under the Bob Carver File Cabinet. In addition, I woke up one morning and a pristine PDF schematic for the Tracking Down Converter board in an early 300x2 Sunfire amp had fallen out of the sky onto my desk. Look for it as the last item in the Sunfire schematics section. I'll keep an eye out for more. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a MAC to do all this. Any ideas from you guys to make them a smaller file? If it is a D or E size sheet (large format) I found going to Kinko's and using their scanners, and their support (sometimes sketchy) can get a legible file at reasonable size from a large format schematic. If it's a multi-page document, all letter-size paper, my trick has been to keep the resolution high, but break it up into "<filename> Part 1," "<filename> Part 2," ... "<filename> Part n." You can do this by scanning the parts separately, or use Adobe Acrobat (if you have a license) to edit and split up the file into parts using the Adobe tools. Note of Caution..., I have never found any of the freeware/shareware tools all over the internet that "say" they can edit PDF files, to do so, without damaging them, often undetectably, but always un-repair-ably. Hence, I reference Adobe's Acrobat tools since they originally defined and own the proprietary copyrighted format of the very complex PDF format. FWIW, to those that know Acrobat and PDF..., I kept my now-years-old Acrobat Version 9 on my system (and the install CD)..., because I never wanted to go to the online/cloud-based version of Acrobat. It has worked flawlessly, even on Win10 and Win11. ...just my suggestion based on what I read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a file cabinet and a closet of paperwork to look through today. Tons of Carver but little Sunfire at first glance. I'll see what we can find. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straylight 384 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I submitted a manual with pics for Root beer 180 Vacuum tube mono amps but can't seem to find it anymore and it's not under tube amps section for manuals.
