You are right Chuck. A year or so ago Don brought it upon himself.
He had several duplicate publications that he wanted to dispose. He
offered them to anyone who would notify him of their desirability.
He had a manual that I wanted and I sent the email. He replied to
me that he would send it to me and that the cost of the manual would
be the cost of the mail. He then directed me to mail the check to
the ARRL in his name for spectrum defense (correct me if I am wrong
about the fund Don).
I added 25 dollars to the mail costs and sent it to the ARRL in
Don's name. A small gesture by a big hearted man. Thanks Don.

Thanks again for the effort, and extra effort this turned out to
be.

Subject: [AMRadio] UPDATE: Free for SASE: Simpson 260 Repair
Manual
Copies
Quick update on this: I have about 20 SASE's sitting here. I just
got the
copies from the printer yesterday. What a snafu. In the first
go-round, they
tried to hand me back uncollated, unstapled pages. I looked at it
and said
"what am I supposed to do with that?" Then the rains came...
But all is well. I am trying to peddle a few copies on eBay to
make some
money to buy the kids new shoes. They haven't had any new shoes
since those
ones we got at the bowling alley....
Your SASE copies will all go out on Friday and should be in your
hands
Monday, 9/27. Sorry for the delay.

Subject: Free for SASE: Simpson 260 Repair Manual Copies
Free For SASE:
Well, maybe I am the last to come across this, but I recently
found a repair
manual for the Simpson 260 Series VOMs. This was published by
Sears, of all
people, in 1976. Here are the details:
"Sears Simpson 260 Meter Repair Program Division 92 Source 260"
dated May,
1976. This is about 20 8.5x11 pages with many pictures and
schematics. This
covers all tests and repairs EXCEPT switch replacement. Switch
replacement
is not covered (it refers you to Simpson for a factory repair).
Models
covered are Series 3, 4, 5, 5P, 6 and 6P. Specifics: Lengthy
troubleshooting
chart, Overload Relay Adjustment, Calibration of all ranges and
theory of
operation. Photos show parts placement (like a Sams does) and
schematics for
each model are provided.
Anyway, if you want a copy, just send me an 8.5x11 envelope with
four 37
cent stamps on it and your address. I will stuff the envelope and
mail it
back to you the same day. No need to reply to this e-mail. Don't
send stamps
or cash--just the SASE. Address below.
With any luck, the 260 will be being used by techs long after we
are gone...
