RE: [VAL] owners manuals (was caravel pumps and valves)



My '68 owner's manual original is not specific to a model. It covers
all. Though just inside the front cover there's a page that says "This
manual was compiled specifically for Airstream trailer serial no." And
then has the serial number in plastic embossed tape.

It has a note at the bottom of the table of contents page saying "See
page 110 for any improvements made for you trailer after this book was
printed." And 110 is right after the infamous missing page 109 that was
supposed to have the specifications table that has been found missing
from most '68 manuals.

If my book was opened up for scanning, the rest of the glue on the
binding would release and it would be a book no more. Pages are getting
loose even with care so unless you can promise to rebind in the original
manner, I wouldn't let it loose for scanning.
