    Some catalogs are on pinwiki.

    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    The SEO version has never seemed to work.

    That version isn't meant for human eyes...it's just for search engines to index.

    Quoted from mario_1_up:

    I've never had an issues with using flash. kinda senseless complaining about something that's out there for free. You could always spend a few hundred dollars for the catalogs if it's that much of an inconvenience.

    Flash is in the process of being depreciated. It's often disabled in browsers by default now.

    PDFs are much quicker to scroll through.

    The flash reader is clunky, can't zoom in/out too well, and takes forever to go from page to page.

    Some catalogs are very difficult to find in print form. It took me a few years to find a print copy of the bally 1981 parts catalog with the white cover. Not all catalogs are available as reprints.

    Heck, try to find print copies of the williams blue, red, yellow, gray, and green catalogs. It's next to impossible, and they each go for $100-$200 *if* you can find them.

    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    It is possible to download the pages. You could even combine them into a PDF.

    It's incredibly time consuming. Not worthwhile, IMHO. The full size pages aren't high enough resolution anyway.
