You can buy original manuals at second hand bookshops. For scanning I use a consumer book scanner (in my case Plustek OpticBook 3600 Plus)

Thanks so much for the information 41Sqn_Banks! I'll have to keep my eyes open for some of these manuals. They’re fabulous. I've had good success obtaining used books on line from Abebooks. I'll start running some searches there and see what comes up... Good tip on the book scanner too. If I can find a book worth scanning, I’ll get the scanner ;) The work you've done obtaining these manuals and then creating the lovely images is outstanding, not to mention what we've all learned from the material therein. Thanks again for sharing!
