WTB: Service Manual or Schematics for Scully 284-B 8 Track
I'm in some serious need of some schematics for a Scully 284B 8 track. If you have schematics for a 284B 4 track or 2 track these should work as well. Please note that 280B machines were a different series and most likely will have different pin outs, PS voltages, etc. If anyone has a set of these schematics I will gladly pay you for nicely scanned copies if you don't wish to part with the original manual. Please contact me and I'll tell you which ones I need. Thanks - Alan
I may or may not have a 284B manual. I'll have to check. I got a big box full of old Scully docs from back when finding such things was damn near impossible. And yes, I am familiar with the 280B being different from the 280. I have one of each type of deck. They are radically different machines.
In the meantime, get on this here interwebs and search for a Yahoo! group devoted to the Scully brand. You'll have to sign up for the group and get a confirmation mail from the moderator to view the discussion. Once a member of that group, you'll have access to many many scanned documents for every type of Scully machine that the members were able to gather and upload. There is a wealth of technical help and discussion there for anyone who owns something Scully. More than a few TOMB members can be found there from time to time. Good people devoted to keeping Scully machines rolling...

Hey Djimbe - Thanks for looking . I hope you're able to dig one up. I've been registered with the Yahoo Scully group for a while now. They do have some complete schematics for the 280B but nothing on the 284s. I've spoken with Steve, the group moderator and he said he'd keep a lookout for one. I actually had a full service manual for the 284B that I bought from Sequoia Electronics back in '98 that was stolen and apparently sold off on eBay . Anyways, good to find someone else who uses these machines - they really sound excellent. Keep me posted.
yeah, didn't want to insult your knowledge about the Yahoo group. Lotta folks don't know that kind of resource exists, so I always try to direct people there first. Good for you for being a member already!
I've just found out I may have some field recording to do the next two weekends. That's gonna mean I'll need to grab some equipment from the studio, so I'll look when I go in...

Anyone out there
Bumping an old request would give my right arm for a manual for this deck!

If anything, message 'remyrad' on the Yahoo groups. She was the lead QC when the machines were built. I doubt she has a manual, but I believe any Q's you have can be answered.
