Don at Data Professionals keeps his word. In today's mail, I received a copy of the Heathkit assembly manual for the TC-3 Tube Checker.
It boils down to this - whether you like the copyright laws or not, or if you think Don has the rights or not - It doesn't matter!! If you need a manual and someone has a copy of it to help you accomplish a repair, it is worth a reasonable fee to get a copy of it. The fee of $15 for the manual is worth it to me. Considering he had to search his files, make a copy, provide an envelope, and finally mail it (which costs postage) was well worth the price for his time, and, he sent me the wired version copy and now the kit version copy. (2 versions for $15 - cheaper than most pay-for on-line manuals!!)
I received an answer to my email. Data Professionals stated that in their files they had the manual for the factory wired version of the Heathkit TC-3 tube tester. They would also check their files for a construction manual and send it for free if they find one. Will post if this happens.
If anyone happens to have a copy of the construction manual for the kit version of the Heathkit TC-3 Tube Checker, I would be happy to purchase a copy of it. You may contact me via email - gdaniel11@columbus.rr.com and please put TC-e in the subject line so I don't delete it.
Thanks all
