Hi,
I'm interested in this but curious. Has anyone got one of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/Quad-ESL-57-Original-Instruction-Book-Excellent_W0QQitemZ180189614316QQihZ008QQcategoryZ 81741QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If so, does it have anything in it that's really important to know before plugging them in? It's one of those `nice to have' items, small, easily posted that this time of year tends to sell well. Final question has to be `has anyone seen one of these on sale before'? I've checked Ebay completed listings but nothing shows; don't know how far back they go though.............

You can download an early ESL-57 manual from http://www.hifiengine.com/

A page or two is missing :-( I do not know of a free, on-line source of a completely complete manual.

Thank you mhardy, much appreciated.

Well, almost. Not mine until Dec. 25th, but it's on the way. I like old manuals; really old ones (early 20th century engineering) can be beautifully and clearly written, with clean detailed line drawings.
