I just brought home what is known as the "Steve Wilson Collection" club archive. Terry Vaught had been safeguarding and adding to this. Other members have also donated material. It has lots of good stuff very few people have seen.

Over the course of the next (ten, twenty?) years, I'm going to try to scan and post it. But I'm a bit overwhelmed by the quantity and need to figure out a starting point.

So I thought I would ask the club members what they would like to see or need the most. The following is not a complete list, just some general categories from a quick glance through the 3 cases of material:

Print Ads from 1922 to 1982
Owners Manuals a few mid 60's plus 1970 through 1982
Parts Manuals
Shop Manuals
just Wiring Diagrams
Cross Reference Lists, mostly late 70's & 80's

To make times easy, I will create a poll to go with this note.

If you have a specific request, you can always reply to this note.

I make NO promises as to how soon or what will get posted first ...

OK ... we've now got the available cross reference lists online. Here's what is available:

1959 - 1964
1961(a)
1961(b) - April revision
1964 - 1969
1964 - 1971
1973
1976
1977
1978
1979
1980
1981
1982

Thanks to Joe Pollard for about 1/3 of the above list ...

I've been loading a few of the Owner's Manuals that Joe has been sending me ...

Someone else is working on the rest of the old newsletters ...

Again, since it takes quite an effort and a lot of time to do scans and file conversions, no promises on when the rest of the information will be available.

If you need a specific document, ask and if we have it, it will be moved to the top of my "to do" list.

I should have noted that Joe Fay got all the print ads loaded some time back ... so between the ads and the cross reference lists, we've accomplished half of what was requested in the poll responses ...
