BAT was offering a complete set, non-oily, 914/6 set of shop manuals
I dropped out at 1300, bidding went to 3500. Turns out the Bid-up guys were also from NH - I am in Boston and NH...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Congrats if the winner is here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

Are these available online in PDF format like the parts diagram? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I assume not if they fetch this kind of pricing. |

Yes, stupid price. But I'm happy to say that I have the exact same full set in VG condition.
I also had and sold the gray binder copy set years ago and I have to agree with BAT posters who commented on poorer quality. Proceeds from the BAT were to go to a charity which may have helped with the $3100 outcome. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I also had and sold the gray binder copy set years ago and I have to agree with BAT posters who commented on poorer quality. Agreed - having a full size, full color set of electric diagrams is desirable. Proceeds from the BAT were to go to a charity which may have helped with the $3100 outcome. I do have the PDF version, there are gaps and also version discrepancy within the transmission section - not sure if this set had all of the updated material |
