    Yes, some of the pictures and tables appear to be Zerox copies direct from the print magazines done on a hot copy machine in the 1970s/80s. They turned dark. But they're still wonderful to have.

    I was asked to figure out why the scale wouldn't measure repeatably after the crash. Never did. Every thing looks good just won't repeat and it's in too good of shape to pitch out.

    One of these days I may grow a couple more brain cells and have an epiphany.

    ...I have both a 505 and the burgundy brick:
    my brain cells being what they are,
    shoot the book intentionally or using it as as target background,
    à la old style telephone guide:
    your offended 505 will be happier or at least more inclined to collaborate_

    Food is overrated. A nice rifle is way more important.

    I'd bet on the bar bending, or the quartz-bearings being damaged.. Ebay can replace parts.

    OTOH, Ken Waters magnum opus is irreplaceable. Excellent reference.
