A Friend has acquired a late 50's B300 in rather a sorry state of repair. Can anybody give me any info on where to source parts, manuals etc.

P.S. I just remembered I still have a photocopied B300 manual left over from the Gilera Network days.

Norturno,
Is there any chance that you could either scan the manual & email it or send me a photocopy- obviously I would reimburse the costs.

Thanks

I could produce a PDF version if you like but probably only feasible to email if you have broadband as each page requires 1MB at high quality (it is already a copy and definition is not brilliant unless scanned at high resolution) and there are nearly 130 pages.
Alternatively I could post you the PDF on a CD.

Take a look at this specimen page (beware 1MB file!):

Norturno,
I think it would be peferable to post it otherwise my boss may be a bit annoyed if I use up all the companies bandwidth for an hour or so (even broadband in South Africa, is not very "broad")
Can you email on bharpin at webb.co.za and I can get the details from you.

Thanks
