This may not come out properly and if useless I will delete.

Definitely not worthless and would be nice to include in the factory template or instructions category in photo archive section. I added some contrast and sharpened the image slightly and they are very legible. Is there some of the page cut off on the bottom of the first photo? The illustrations look a bit abbreviated. Thanks for posting the instructions.

EDIT: You fixed the first page. Thanks again.

Thank you Howard. Your efforts are always appreciated. The paper is so brittle and thin. It is too big to scan. I found this in an antenna box which orig. had two antennas, but they obviously used one. I also tried to take a pic with poor results.

Randy, fragile paper is an issue but size shouldn't be, most Staples stores have a 36" x 48" scanner. I use them regularly to scan large documents into .jpg or .pdf files.

The problem is that I wrapped clear plastic film around the pic and a piece of sheet plastic. The paper is so brittle and tender. It is already in several pieces. If it was something I had seen in several places I wouldn't have saved it. Something in my medulla kept me from throwing it out. That and the fact I'm a packrat.

Ah, I see the light!

If you can get a good high resolution scan at your local print shop and send it to me as a BMP to TIF file (NOT jpg), I can possibly restore it for the archives. I can scan up to ledger size (11X17) myself on a flatbed and print shops can scan even larger but they generally use a sheet feeder which may not work with something so delicate.
