I can't comment on any of your points as they all make perfect sense to me..... but I can recall a good experience in that during the 80's and 90's I bought a lot of stuff from Tandy such as shortwave radios and a few CD Players and every time I made a purchase it was on the grounds that I also purchase the service manual to go with them and surprisingly they were quite willing to provide these items..... The most I ever paid for one of these was $15 which was for an AM / FM receiver which is still going from the year I bought it back in 1988. John
