I've uploaded the UDR350/UDR700 manual to my google drive here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tqFbQ9S1SJd4DwsR6J7qlBiEWVpbmKnc/view?usp=sharing It's a _LARGE_ file, you might be able to compress it somehow. Please let me know when you've taken it so I can delete it to save space on the googled drive, of course I'll keep a copy on my machine. Do you also need the HSR500/HSR500P manual? I have that too. > My latest video on YouTube > > https://youtu.be/8HtRqe6jzc8?si=MmRL4qbh_7PZjVff > > In the email you said you had scanned the document into a file.

It's probably still under copyright owned by somebody, but my experience is that companies don't normally care about 50-year-old service manuals. -tony
