Service Manuals are the "blueprints" for electronic devices.

During our 28+ years of business, The Sound Idea has accumulated over 40,000 service manuals.

If you are searching for rare, vintage, or hard-to-find, out-of-print service manuals from companies such as Akai, Marantz, Luxman, Harmon-Kardon, Sansui, or Dual, . . . and many others . . .you will find them at The Sound Idea.

We do not SELL Service Manuals. If we have the service manual, we will be glad to lend it to you under the following condition:

You send us a Deposit of $100.00.

When you return that manual, we will credit/refund you $75.00.

Why are we doing it this way? We have made copies before and people have complained that they are dissatisfied with the copy; resulting in refunds and dissatisfaction on both sides. Our way: You determine the quality. I hope this is a satisfactory explanation.
