We were doing a little cleaning around the office, and realized that we had accumulated quite an assortment of owners manuals for (mostly) discontinued surveying instruments and construction Lasers. Rather than cluttering up the EBay listings with a bunch of CDs of full of stuff that you can download for free from government sites (under the Freedom of Information act), we thought we would list some of these more unique items for various classic model instruments. For the most part, these manuals are new, although they have been around for a while and may show some aging. All are in very good condition..no torn or stuck together pages. Where we have several copies of a particular item, the original manual is offered. If we have only one copy, we will provide a clean photocopy. Availability (original or photocopy) is stated for each item. NOTE: we do use up the original copies, so confirm availability (before ordering) for manuals shown as "original". Postage prices (for the larger manuals, have increased quite a bit since we started this, so call for shipping quote. Some manuals are available as .pdf files for $10.00. Also available, manuals for current and recent model Nikon instruments, which are listed here. To order, the easiest route is to phone in your payment and shipping information: 562-426-1306. Paypal also works (our Paypal ID is mohave@prodigy.net)
NOTE: Many of the current and recent model instrument manuals can be downloaded for FREE from the CST/BERGER website (self-help section).
