A big Thank You to Andrew Petley who has supplied us with the user manuals for the Beogram 1202 and Beomaster 1001. These are now on site. This is the era where we usually have the service manuals but no user manuals.

Many thanks,

Peter, I notice we do not have the user manual for the Beomaster 1000. During the next few days I will find my original one and get it scanned for you.

Peter :

If you can do it as individual jpgs, I can turn it into a pdf. That would be great.

Sorry to stick my oar in but I would always use greyscale gifs for text or schematics because of how the the compression works - jpgs aren't that great.

Peter :

I usually scan as pdfs myself but can work with almost anything! If gifs are better, happy to get those!

Gifs keep line and edge detail but round the colour up to the nearest 256 colour (or greyscale) from a pallette and so they are ideal for compressing line drawings, text or business graphics, but no good for photos as 256 colours isn't enough for a realistic image. Jpgs decide upon a pixels colour by "averaging" the colours of the surrounding pixels (a simplification but similar) however the number of colours is not limited (within reason), this works great for areas of varying colour but blurs lines or edges and so is best for photos but no good for line drawings or text.
