WR,

I had forgotten that you were communicating from your phone. Since you are having the parts manual scanned and put in a PDF file for me (us actually), I'd be glad to print out a copy of the CB77 Shop manual and mail it to you. Let me know.
regards,
Rob

I was just thinking. Does your local library have public computers? Most do. I guess I would ask if they will print stuff for you as well for a small fee. I would guess it would be way cheaper than Kinkos. Might not be an option, though. Printing could become a nightmare for the library.

Still willing to print and mail if you like. Just need a mailing address.
regards,
Rob

Chase,
Thanks for that tip. I am in the process of trying to find a local source thru my friends who fly. I found it online so I'll be able to get it. Here's a link for those who might be interested in what the stuff is used for. Sounds like we all should have a can of it to spray our old electrical connectors and such. I'll be getting a few cans, that's for sure.

When Chase recommended (Monday) the ACF-50 I ordered a 32 OZ. bottle.
It arrived yesterday with a Pump Up container.
Ya can spray it or wipe it with the pump they send.
Now to give it a try. .......lm

I went over my budget last night and decided it was time to buy a computer. I found a decent one at Staples on clearence for $300. I'm going to pick it up tonight. Then I gotta get the internet turned on at my house, but this should make my life sooo much easier.
Rob, thanks for the offer but I really need to get it together over here an just buy a darn computer. I'll be seeing my buddy on Monday and I'll ask about the .pdf, I'll let you know what's up.

I do have a spare copy with greasy fingerprints on it if you change your mind. It's at my camp and I'll be out there next weekend.

Rob
