Alright I think I’ve seen it all now. :-[
Just grabbed a service PDF for a Technics keyboard from here:
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/16615/Technics_SX-P50.html
to find pictures of a naked lady behind all the diagrams and text. Not a complaint so to speak, but jeez man, who would’ve seen that crap coming?
Attention! This manual is multipart.
err… anything else you’d like to tell us about it??
Edit: Put NSFW in the topic just in case. Sorry for intruding.
Ahh dammit i can’t get the pdf to extract 
;D

Looks like it’s a spanned archive, if you want to see the manual porn you’ll have to download all parts.
Yes I know… I even tried to find the other parts, but after two searches I decided that I Couldn’t be bothered ;D

You got as far as that? Oh dear.
Couldn’t you just photoshop some naked ladies onto a printed version of the MB-SID V2 manual… might stop so many questions being asked that already covered in the documentation 
Well it was done out of curiousity about the manual, not the naked ladies in it 
women come with a manual and schematic these days???
Where is the off switch??
“Set ladies to ‘stun’” ;D

Of course 
Seriously, was I the only one who wondered what the context of the naked ladies was? Just the concept of it cracks me up!
Nope, it’s lost on me too! WTF?

Me too, like are we talking full on x-rated watermark images here :o :o or just line-drawings ?

I actually downloaded this purely to see what the context was I hasten to add, and… there is no context to it whatsoever. The background on each page has been replaced with a rather attractive brunette who leaves nothing to the imagination.
Umnnn… that’s shocking. i thought the odd funny line-drawn cartoon or something.. Not full on porn! Maybe an idea to mark it as not safe for work. The Image has obviously been added by the uploader though, no way that the manuafacturer could get away with that.
G

Done.
Sorry Jidis, let me know if that bothers you and we’ll talk about changing it back
i only read these for the contexts…

Not in the slightest. I probably wouldn’t have cared if it even stayed on here, I just thought the concept was pretty f*'n weird and had to share it with others who might be equally confused by it. ;D I mean, if a young hacker type wanted to “surprise” or shock people with porn in an inappropriate place, why a service manual? Doesn’t seem most techs are going to give two turds about some nasty pictures.
For those who couldn’t download it, it’s about like Therezin pointed out, and pretty much standard “gas station calendar” porn. I thought it was more than one picture, but it looks like the same one on each page. The line drawings thing would have been good. Maybe there’s a comment/suggestions link on the site.
FWIW, it looks like the real service manual (68 pages). I’ve found that site a few times before for PDFs. I’m wondering now if there’s a bunch like that. Getting the rars off there was sort of weird, but I’ve dealt with worse. Some of them gave me a download dialog when I clicked them in Opera, but some didn’t. In that case, you’ll see some small text for “click to download” or something below the archive list that you can use. Of course you’ll also need an up to date version of WinRAR or something that handles multi-part RARs.
Take Care,
George
I dl’d just to spot the DAC !! Fo sure !!! ;D
PCM1734 , I had to look close , wouldnt mind if someone ID the background
BTW, I went ahead and grabbed that keyboard. The thing is beautiful. Way nicer than anything a drummer should own. ;D
I gave the guy a little more than he was asking, as I really don’t think it has anything “wrong” with it, at least not what he thought. He said it wasn’t producing sound when played, but the demos play OK and I took a MIDIBox (MIDIMon) with me to check the MIDI output, which is fine. I have a feeling he may have switched off local mode or something.
Enough rambling. 8)
I heard it play via headphones and it seems fine, however, there are three keys (non-consecutive) which produce no sound. I didn’t check whether they were outputting MIDI, but have a feeling it’s a common contact issue. Different velocities make no difference.
I’m going to check out the service/porno manual tonight to see how difficult it is to dissect, but if anyone’s got any tips, warnings, or things to check, I’d appreciate it. It’s a Technics SX-P50 (88-weighted keys).
Thanks!
