Dump Truck fell asleep on his own head

I gave Dump Truck some lettuce and he started eating it, but he was obviously so tired that he fell asleep on his own noggin, what a dorkosaurus!

My Soundtracks

Soundtracks are one of the smallest genres in my collection, but I love what I have.

I like beans

I tried turning my head into an intergalactic communication beacon to correspond with any higher lifeforms who may wish to know that our planet harbours beans.

IBM - Frogger - Hat-Flap!

Me playing a game of Frogger via MS-DOS on my Dad's IBM computer in the 80s. Notice the hat with flap, I was stylish young chap.

Dino-Riders!

This is me flexing with the Dino-Riders Torosaurus in 1988 or 1989. It is actually a pretty sad flex because this was my friend's Torosaurus and this photo was taken in his bedroom. I did have Dino-Riders figures of my own, though, but I had ones that were smaller in size than the Torosaurus. Every kid in the 80s who knew about and liked the Dino-Riders dreamed of having either the Brontosaurus or the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or both

Identify this BMX

I know this will be difficult because the photo is of poor resolution and it will not be a well known, good brand, but can anyone identify this BMX bike that I had in the late-80s/early90s?

I thought I’d delete that and post again so I don’t waste anyone’s time downloading stuff I have since obtained. I only have six things left I’m after if anyone would be so kind. I obviously do not expect one person to do all six, maybe a few people could help? Thank you in advance.

Hifi Engine request

Hi everyone, I have posted this in a couple of other communities and I’m wondering if people that are lucky enough to have an account with HiFi Engine might be so kind as to grab a few documents that I am seeking. I have a website, Concise Archive, where I am documenting the Technics Concise series. Any documentation that I acquire and add to the documentation section of the website including literature that I purchased with my own money is freely available for anyone to view or download, as I do not believe in charging money for documentation that I had no part in creating. The following documentation would be hugely helpful and much appreciated if anyone could help; thank you in advance:

Breaking Away

I decided to make myself a custom Breaking Away game in large scale.

The cyclists were purchased from a store in France, then I painted them.

I got a guy in India on Fiverr to photoshop the velodrome track which was taken from a small image on BBG.

I then got a company in China to print it out on a neoprene mat.

So, basically the whole world came together to help me make it. I also made custom player sheets and a rulebook. It’s such a fun game and we all enjoy playing it very much at our house.

Seeking Help from Hi-Fi Engine Account Holders

Hi everyone, I started a website to archive and document the Technics Concise range. What I have accumulated and I’m hoping to accumulate will be made free to anyone who wants or needs access to the document section of the website. I have obtained quite a bit so far, but I still need a lot. I do not expect people to compromise their accounts, just one or two things here and there would be much appreciated and that will slowly chip away at what I am trying to gather for the archive:

https://concisearchive.com

To avoid people doing unnecessary searching or sending documents already held by the archive, I have divided this into two sections:

  1. ⁠Documents presently listed on HiFi Engine or Vinyl Engine
  2. ⁠Documents I have not located on either site

For the first section, I have linked to the main model page and listed only the particular files I still need from that page. Direct download links are not included because they generally lead other users to a login page.

Please share only your own scans, material you have permission to redistribute, or information about another legitimate source. The links below are provided to identify the particular documents and editions.

============================================================

DOCUMENTS LISTED ON HIFI ENGINE OR VINYL ENGINE

TECHNICS SB-F01

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/sb-f01.shtml

Document wanted from this page:
- Instruction / Owners Manual

TECHNICS SB-F1

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/sb-f1.shtml

Document wanted from this page:
- Service Manual

I already have the Japanese combined SB-F1 / SB-F2 / SB-F3 operating instructions, so the English owners manual shown on this page is not a priority.

TECHNICS SB-F2

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/sb-f2.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Service Manual
- Mk2 Service Manual

I already have the Japanese combined SB-F1 / SB-F2 / SB-F3 operating instructions.

TECHNICS SE-C01

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/se-c01.shtml

Document wanted from this page:
- Service Manual marked “M/MC”

The archive already has the combined SE-C01 / SH-C01 service manual covering the version used with the separate SH-C01 pulse power supply. I would like to examine the separately listed M/MC service manual to determine whether it documents the internally powered SE-C01 version or another regional specification.

TECHNICS SL-5

https://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-5.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Advert (1982)
- Instruction / Owners Manual
- Service Manual — Changes
- Service Supplement 1
- Technical Information

One complete owners-manual scan is sufficient; there is no need to obtain both scans unless they contain materially different information.

The ordinary SL-5 Service Manual is already held by the archive.

TECHNICS SL-10

https://www.vinylengine.com/library/technics/sl-10.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Advert (1980)
- Brochure
- Service Manual

The SL-10 Instruction / Owners Manual is already held by the archive.

TECHNICS ST-C03

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/st-c03.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Instruction / Owners Manual
- Schematic

The brochure and ordinary Service Manual are already held by the archive.

TECHNICS ST-C04

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/st-c04.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Service Changes marked “PA/PE”
- Service Supplement marked “MC/MX”

The brochure and ordinary ST-C04 Service Manual are already held by the archive.

TECHNICS SU-C03

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual\_library/technics/su-c03.shtml

Documents wanted from this page:
- Quick Start Guide
- Schematic

The brochure and ordinary Service Manual are already held by the archive.

============================================================

DOCUMENTS NOT LOCATED ON HIFI ENGINE OR VINYL ENGINE

- Technics SH-C02 — if separate instructions were issued
- Technics ST-C04 / ST-C04L
- Technics SU-C03 — full operating instructions rather than the Quick Start Guide
- Technics SU-C04

SERVICE MANUALS:

- Technics RS-M03
- Technics RS-M05
- Technics SB-F01 — if a separate service manual was issued
- Technics SB-F1 Mk2 — if not covered by the ordinary SB-F1 service manual

My new Concise website

Hi everyone, I just made a website I’ve been working on for a while go live. It’s dedicated to archiving the Technics Concise range. I’m not an expert, just an owner and big fan of the C01 stack. Because the website is new, it could have more information on it, but I’m hoping it will grow in time, particularly the documents section. I hope there aren’t too many mistakes and I hope some of you might enjoy it: http://concisearchive.com

Does anyone have a HiFi Engine account who would be willing to help?

EDIT: I removed the two that the kind people grabbed for me.

Hi everyone, I do not have an account with HiFi Engine and there is some documentation I would love to get if someone would be so kind as to assist. I know HiFi Engine imposes a limit per day, so if someone is not using their account for downloads on any given day I would really appreciate and love:

The brochure (first link) on this page:

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/st-c04.shtml

The brochure (first link) on this page:

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/rs-m07.shtml

The flyer (first link) on this page:

https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/rs-m04.shtml

Feel free to send me a direct message if that is easiest. I do not expect anyone to help, just a humble request. Thank you in advance.

My humble little collection.

I have far more records and CDs than cassette tapes which I would like to change, but I never see anything in local secondhand shops that I want. The upside is it makes me focus on and appreciate what I do have more. Does anyone see anything that they like here?
