Quoted from woz:I'm sure that if PBR made the parts manuals available online in pdf format they would sell way more parts. Also, the amount of time spent dealing with orders would be reduced as customers would have correct part #'s in their orders (which would no doubt keep Steve happy!).
I have an original Gottlieb '78 parts manual and it's one of my goto pinball reference books, but it would also be very handy to have it available in pdf so I can take it anywhere with me.
Hard to argue with that logic, but...and there is always a but.
PDF will mean the possibility of cracking the security and a free download is then available.
