Also, don't forget a reference to SAMS for
schematic information.

I have seen many requests for schematics to
various pieces of consumer equipment.

Does anybody ever get a useful reply from these requests
or are they just wasting everybody's time, including the poster?

Perhaps a simple request like: If you need a schematic for a
Technics XYZ Gizmo,  First call Technics,  second check the local
library or call SAMS for a repair manual,  Then if all else fails,
ask the net.

Also - I personally like some of the discussions about blue LEDs
as long as they contain useful info like the address for Cree Research
Which is 2810 Meridian Parkway Suite 176  Durham, NC  27713 by the way.
