I picked this up off of ebay a couple of weeks ago, I've never seen one before. It's a Nintendo service manual, with schematics, service bulletins and general info on DK, DK jr., Mario Bros., and Popeye. It looks to be an official Nintendo creation, although I suppose that an operator could have gathered all this info and organized it. I paid $45 for it.

Pretty cool! Someone on here had one for sale a couple of years back.

YOU S@N #F A B*TCH!!!! I was bidding on that. I think I put my max bid in as $44 or something stupid. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE!! I Deserve that manual!! :)

That is all....
 
Yo, dude... what does it say about "radarscope frozen picture". I need to know.

SCAN THAT MANUAL!! Sell it to me. PLEASE!
 
Dude, it's just a manual. A cool one, but still just a manual. Haha.

Yes, yes... you are correct. But I NEED it. ARRRGH!!

But I need to know about the Radarscope "Frozen Picture" fix. Please share!! Please scan!! Arrrrghghghg!
 
I wonder what DK Speedup Kit #2 does...I think the first ROM update Nintendo did (which I assume is #1) kept you from hiding on the top of the ladder on the barrel board (they wouldn't come down on you on that revision)

It can be yours for the paltry sum of... (Dr. Evil voice)"One MILLION Dollars"! :)

J/K - I'm going to keep it, but I plan to scan it and make it available. Some of the service bulletins are listed, but not there. I'll take a look and if the Radarscope one is there I'll post what it says...
 
Okay, this is the text from the "Radar Scope Frozen Picture" service bulletin:

GAME: Radar Scope

SUBJECT: Frozen picture displaying, "Captain, your duties are to shoot 48 UFO's. Good luck."


It has been discovered that there is a potential problem with the EPROM's on the sound board in early shipments of Radar Scope. The symptom is as described above; the remedy is to replace the EPROM on the sound board with a modified version of the EPROM. The replacement EPROM's are labeled either with a TRS-5Ab for the five-board set or TRS-3Ib for the four-board set. The replacement EPROM's are available through Nintendo's distributors. If they do not have the EPROM in stock, they are available for immediate shipment from out Parts Department.



Hope this helps, John. I'll get to work on scanning the whole manual... :)
 
Those types of manuals are found in a distributors service dept.
I have something similar from Taito and Atari.
 
The Nintendo one shows up about 1 or 2 times a year on EBAY. I've been meaning to bid on one, but always forget about the auction.

Please scan it and make it available. That would be AWESOME!!!

I need to find these roms!
 
Hi Greg,

I would like to know what the DJR-04 sheet says. It's the one about the interchangability of the power supplies and the hybrid IC's on the PP-7A and PP-7B. Any chance you could show that one?

I'm going to scan the whole book eventually and post it somewhere...
 
Radar scope freeze - NEED EPORMS

I too am in need of the same EPROMS. I contacted Nintendo, they sent me to AAMA (American Amusement Machine Association). If anyone has the ability to help us RADAR SCOPE owners, please share a link to a parts department to where we can aquire EPROMS. Game on!(my forum username is same as my email @yahoo.com) Thanks_Jim (jjeff500)
