Yes that is a service manual for a 94.There is no size reference so its hard to tell if its the boxed one taken out of the box or the real big one.

Either way, they both have same content except teh big one has bigger script.

THanks for the info Fred. Also thanks for not bidding against me on it. I appreciate it. I'm always on the watch on EBay now so I'll post if I see another good deal one on there

AZHitMan is bidding against me on there. well you can have it if ya want. i was just looking to get it cheap. but oh well. little perturbed, but if you didnt see this post then all is well. but if ya did see it i'd be a little more perturbed(seemed kinda like an unwritten rule around here or something).

Hi, Rob.

At first, I did not know you were the first bidder on this item - I doubt that AZHitman knew it either. The eBay name is quite different from your nom-de-plume here.

I went ahead and bid on it (once I saw your post here and that you were not continuing bidding), since AZ has, in the past, sorta said that it was not a problem. Plus, he has a bid open on a 1992 Q manual and recently also won a 1991 Q manual.

I do not know if there is any unwritten rule here per se ... I guess I would avoid bidding if it was anybody other than AZ and the person mentioned it here. Like I said, I felt comfortable outbidding AZ since he had sorta said on another Q service manual auction that it would be okay. I hope that is still true - if not, sorry, AZ!

i know... i know... im just ranting cause i have nothing better to do in life. he probably didn't even read my original post, so it doesnt matter to me.

i like to rant by the way

and i was just hoping that noone else would see it cause it was kind of a hidden auction(not a great auction name) and i would easily win it. oh well. not much i can do

but thanks for your input szhosain. nice to hear other peoples opinions on stuff

Rob - I have been away from NICO for the past 2.5 days - Missed your first post.

I have been keeping an eye out for ANY FSM's... Having said that, I don't really NEED another one. However, plan on spending $60 to win the auction - Those manuals are hard to find. My bid was nowhere near that high, I just figure if I win it at $25 I can make another NICO brother VERY happy.

I have a 91 manual that I'll either trade straight up for a 95 manual (just to be "correct") or will possibly sell to someone (for what I paid) if they can't swing the price of an eBay auction.

Z - Good luck with that one - Hope you win it. :D

Thanks, AZ! Glad you do not mind. To be honest, I would prefer a 1995 manual too, since mine is a 1995Q, but I figure the 1994 is close enough for now. And, if ever possible, I could do an even trade with someone too.

I'll second (triple ?) that - I have the 96T and will try to hold out on sending Joe the full $$ if I can find any other way to get my mitts on a 96 FSM - the CD tides you over - but I gotta believe even a 94 or up is out there w/my name on it - I seem to recall that a fair amount of the systems are the same for the 90 - 93 FSM's so there make an acceptable comprimise, but I'm going to hold out a bit longer -

Any NICO folks need to unload an actual 96 version ?

TIA

Mike :D

Hi, all.

Another 1994 Q45 service manual (with demo CD, etc.) has just shown up at eBay. I did not bid on this one, since I have another bid going on another 1994 service manual. So ... enjoy:

Rob - Get thee to eBay NOW!!! It looks like the 91 AND the 92 are gonna be fairly cheap. Nick is the high bidder on one of them (don't outbid him) but the other is still pretty cheap. They've been going for $45-$65 according to my informal records here.

Still a smoking deal considering the info inside.

Nevermind,

I got another off Ebay last night, same year 1990. But thanks anyway.

Nick :)

P.S. There is another 1991 Service Manual for sale on there with 6 days left or you can spend 50 bucks to buy it now.
