Roland Service Manuals

[Caps]

I saw this link in a thread (by SergeRbt) about FR3 service and thought this should have a new thread. I was just able to purchase a FR4-X service manual and it appears others are available. It cost 11 Euro via paypal and was delivered via an email link within the hour. It's a big file - almost 20 meg. Includes schematics and photos.

That link is a very good source for service manuals. I ordered my FR-8X service manual from there last year.

sent an email asking if they had it in stock and what the price was.
sielotto@gmail.com is the email shown under the "contact us" on the top of the site. They responded within a couple hours.
Odd way to do business but it works for them. You send an email, they respond telilng you the cost and send a copy of the table of contents of the manual and then you send them payment via paypal and they send you a link to download it.

You cannot get a copyright strike for stuff that is never placed on any server. I have used them for service manuals myself, and I commend that they provide a service to customers that the companies themselves (if they even exist anymore) cannot be bothered to do themselves, even though it is an important part of brand maintenance when old instruments can still be seen in action. And if people invest themselves into them, they have an obvious upgrade path if they eventually will look for a new instrument.

Hello,
As information, I do not know how the guy does, but on my demand, he was able to complete the list of provided FR Service Manuals.
I mean that you can contact him even if the Service Manual that you looking for is currently not in his list...
Have a nice day !

I could imagine him having "friends in lower places", people who are working in the best interest of their company without bothering the official internal channels.

I have personally gotten a number of dated circuit diagrams from service departments by asking nicely. The crucial point is to do that while there still is a department rather than a mere bundle of assets, particularly if the assets are in a form where it saves storage space to throw them away.
