Sony ICF-5900W Manuals - Includes 'Operating Instructions' and 'Service Manual'
URGENT NOTICE: I have had to increase all shipping prices by $2.00 to cover Bonanza's mandatory over priced shipping fees. I regret the extra charge. Pease let me know if you know of a better market place as I doubt I'll remain with Bonanza for long.
The ICF-5900W is among the top 5 analog radios ever built. Using its built-in marker generator, you can precisely tune to a specific shortwave frequency. Many of these radios have survived, but rarely is the manual included with the radio. In this sale, I am selling both the Operating Instructions Manual as well as the Service Manual, both bound together as one book. Only the English portion of the Operating Instructions is included.
My pictures are a rather grainy. The actual item looks better than the pictures shown.

This manual is a new manual laser printed at 600 DPI and perfect bound. It has 31 pages. This is not a vintage manual and is not a Sony product. The scan quality on this material is medium - all is readable but there are some shadows, pictures are slightly fuzzy, and the original had one or two written notes. The Service Manual included a color cover, as well as one diagram and one schematic in color. These pages I have provided in both color and black and white, so as to maximize usefulness. You may need a magnifying glass to read the schematics.
Overall, you should find this a useful addition to your vintage Sony radio.

IMPORTANT STUFF (please read before bidding):
I strive for satisfaction. Please read the following to give you realistic expectations as to what I can do for you.

I accept Paypal ONLY. I ship to the Paypal verified address ONLY. I ship USPS unless you contact me prior to bidding, and I agree to do otherwise (this will likely delay shipment).
No shipments outside the 50 states (NS DC) of the USA.
ONLY exception: If you are on a US military base outside the 50 states contact me with shipping address IN ADVANCE of the auction closing, and I will see if I can do it. In this case the quoted flat rate shipping will not apply. I will bill you the exact USPS charges.
I do not ship every day. I ship USPS at least twice a week. So it may take up to 4 days for your order to ship. I usually do better. If you need an item quickly contact me BEFORE bidding for possible other shipping options (flat rate shipping will not apply).
