If you need more detail, the manuals from the sixties and seventies provide sharper drawings than the ones in the nineties manuals.

It's the quality of the original images in the manuals, they took more time to draw distinct diagrams in the early manuals. They got progressively worse toward the end of Eagle production. It's why I keep all of my older manuals.

I figured you are plenty busy, but the lights are still appreciated when you get to it.

I've got about three feet of manuals that cover from Model 01 to 15/20, including the ones I got from Boomer. The Model 10 manuals provided the best coverage, overall. The problem with some manual sets is that they were mass copied and don't have a sharp image. The problem with some of the older sets is that they have greasy fingerprints and notes written on the pages. I think I may have some of Norris's fingerprints, may he rest in peace.
