Hey ladies and gentlemen,

With the success of asking in this thread (tl;dr version: I E-Mailed id Software for some 'turkey' graphics from Doom 3, and received a response from the graphic artist!) I'm on a high, and wanted to pick the experts' collective brain(s) in the resto threads for your input, and assistance.  I'm looking to find scans or downloads of any 'printed material' which would come with a classic arcade cabinet.  I haven't followed the restos much, shy of the past few weeks, but have noted some threads in which people have referenced wiring diagrams, instruction manuals, and the like.  That is what I'm looking for.  EXAMPLES of what would come with a cabinet, if one ordered it 'fresh from the factory'.

This is, of course, the place to ask.

If anybody has original scans, or a link to where I could get some PDFs, of ANYTHING related to the front-to-back documentation of an arcade cabinet, I would LOVE to have a copy.  It's for my 'not-so-secret' project, but if you've ever followed Pixelhugger's build, you probably already know where I'm going with this.  I would LOVE to find original marketing such as sales brochures, technical information such as installation/service manuals, and even those paper labels you might find inside electronics showing wiring diagrams and the like.  (Obviously, whatever I'm missing out on here, I would LOVE to get your feedback.)  It doesn't matter if it's a 300 pg doc - I'd love to look it over.

Thanks!

Check this page:

http://andysarcade.de/battlezone.html

Look about halfway down under Manuals/Datasheets/Technical Info

Several pdf's of service manuals / operator manuals / schecmatics / etc for an Atari Battlezone.  I've used them to work on my Battlezone.
