Re: new printed copies of antique outboard manuals, any intrest?

quote joemallon:

Hi all, I recently bought an old Champion 2k outboard with the original manual, however the manual was literally falling apart to the point that I didn’t want to flip thru it any more than I absolutely had to for fear that it would do irreparable damage. That being said, I work as a printer in Mentor Ohio and decided to bring my old manual in to work and have it scanned in super high resolution on our professional equipment and had a brand new copy printed out on press and bound in the same way that the original had been. When I saw how nicely it turned out it got me thinking that maybe some of you might be in a similar predicament and would appreciate not only having an original copy but also a brand new one that can be used without fear of damage. I am just trying to put some feelers out there to see if there is any interest in having me print brand new copies. I talked to my boss and he said that we could probably do the books for around $5-$10 each depending on how many pages plus return shipping. Thanks, and please just give me some feedback if you think this would be helpful

I agree the manuals should be preserved for use now and for the future. The manuals i have i freely share with members and nonmembers alike. I do not charge others looking for help and literature.

Thanks for the offer
