You have a Workshop Manual Fenton, why don't YOU send it to him and get a quote? Why am I volounteered just because he is in Exeter? Jamie was in Japan, working as an English teacher for several years, and even he hasn't got as far as we have translating the manual.
We did have a lot done, but the laptop the info was on was stolen last year, and foolishly there was no backup. I have since moved and don't have the space at the moment to set up a scanner to continue with the imaging, and the co-worker (who's wife is Japanese) was pissed off enough to not have the enthusiasm to start all over again just yet.
You will all soon find out, just as Nick Thorn did, that people are all take and no give. He got hold of an English "version" of the MC16 manual, had it re-mastered and printed, and offered the hard copy for $40. I believe it cost him about $400 to do, and couldn't even break even. Now people are e-mailing the PDF around, and Nick gets no credit whatsoever.
He e-mailed me the PDF, and when we do actually finish the complete manual, it will be on a subscription basis, and Nick will get a hand-out... if anyone actually subscribes! You can rest assured though, the manual WILL NOT be made available in PDF format, and I will do my best make it a right pain in the ass to download and copy it.
I'm not trying to piss on your idea Poul, but count me out as far as co-ordinating it. You won't get enough "givers". I could give you a list of names that would help... in fact, you can look the list of names up... find any thread concerning a UK meet, and any thread started by the name cgallant, cos it's always the same names!!
