ARP 3620 Keyboard Service manual

ARP 3620 Keyboard Service manual

2012-08-28 by desneed

Has anyone seen one of these on the net?  I saw one on Ebay a little while ago but figure since most of the other ARP 2600 stuff is out there, it might be too...

Tnx

Dave

manuals.fdiskc.com has what you need.
It's an excellent resource.

All of the 3620 scans that are online are almost unreadable. That guy on ebay in the UK had a clean copy for sale, but his asking price was really high. If anyone has a readable copy to scan, please share it with the rest of us, if possible!

Another Arp manual that only seems to exist as a bad scan is the Omni 2 service manual. I scanned my copy and posted it here. It's not perfect, since the scanner at work was a bit "off", but you can read everything clearly:

You will find other rarities there as well (and more are on the way).

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for sending the link. I contacted the site owner and he sent a sample, but it's the same unreadable quality as others I have seen. He claims that he scanned it himself, but if this is true, then it was sourced/printed from the same PDF that is up on line.

Anyone else? Someone must have a copy to share... All that is really needed is a clear scan of the actual schematic. The rest is readable on what is freely available.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for sending the link. Marvin was kind enough to contact me directly re this issue, but again, the schematic is not highly readable. The rest (the text etc.), as always, looks perfectly acceptable.

I appreciate your efforts though. With any luck we will eventually find a copy that looks clear!
