Manual for obsolete test equipment wanted.

May 29, 2008 8:20 AM

I need a manual for a Panasonic VP-8121B AM-FM Stereo Signal Generator.

This is an obsolete piece of test equipment that Panasonic doesn't support anymore. Apparently, they're out of the test equipment business altogether.
There are a few used equipment dealers like http://www.testequipmenthq.com/ and http://www.alternativetest.co.uk/ who will sell me a (like) new unit, but won't sell me just the manual.
I have also tried:

http://www.manualsplus.com/

http://www.ebaman.com/

http://bama.sbc.edu/

http://www.consolidatedsurplus.com/

I would hate to have to replace this thing only for the lack of a manual. Help!

I don't have time to look through all of these models but perhaps you do? http://www.retrevo.com/samples/Panasonic-manuals.html?cmpid=Manuals_Panasonic&gclid=CMvY6qiazJMCFScuagodHhZijA

There is BAMA, but they don't seem to have it..

Are you looking for the service manual, or just the operators manual? Maybe you could post some pics of the unit, and we could try to figure out how it works.. I have some manuals for comparable equipment..
