Pity nobody scanned and posted the last chapters showing a lot of yummy schematics.

Flawed logic behind that is "all schematics are in the Net anyway"  which of course is not true.

Classic Fender Tube schematics and layouts are easily available, of course,  a few Tube Gibson ones too, practically no SS one shown there can be found, so in fact it would be great if somebody scanned and posted his own copy in full.

Sadly the Net is dominated by tubeheads, where anything tube, no matter how poor, must be kept, while early SS amps, some very clever or unique, are lost.

Oh well.

I have the actual book. 4th edition.

I was gonna offer to do it.... but....

Those chapters encompass pages 113 to 382.
269 pages!
That's a lot of pages to scan.... not to mention the hassle of getting the book to lay flat for scanning...

Sorry, I'm gonna suggest you buy the book.
It's available on Amazon.

If there are a couple of specific pages you would like, I can scan and post those.

I also own this book and I also recommend you buy it. It's worth the money.

Here is a scan of the schematic index pages.

Most of them you actually do find from internet. Gibson master service manual, for example, covers a lot.

Those Estey (Magnatone) M-series schematic I have never encountered...

I have the Magnetone M-27, 30, 32, 35  Plus MC100, MC120.

But they are warehoused, so I will put them on the list of things to dig out.
