Somehow it goes against the grain to pay money for this sort of thing.
Although this appears to be an original. I hate these
companies/individuals who are making money out of selling usually copies
of this sort of thing. Information should always be free. I'm very much
in favour of sites like this:

http://www.eserviceinfo.com/

Where manuals are free and you can upload any old manuals to. It doesn't
have your Tandberg manual, but you can request it.



I agree.
They should turn the manuals into pdf files & put them up on a website for
FREE download.

Who are "they"? If you mean a private individual, hobbyist, then I agree, it
is a nice thing to do to. However, if the manual owner is a commercial
organisation, who will pay for the time to scan a large document and create
PDFs? Also, if the commercial organisation in question sells vintage
equipment, why shouldn't they also be able to make a commercial return on
the information they own?
