Dear Mr.Baumbach:
Thanks for your responce to my query about my Capehart.
How do I contact you privately about Capehart 404G owners manual &
schematics? UT has the Rider's book of schematics - do you
offer something better?
Without your Capehart book, the stereo repairman would never have been able
to get the changer working. The
on-line video of operating changers was also a big help.
Again thanking you and sending all good wishes, I remain...
Ver
y truly yours,
