RS> Have you tried that Cooma crowd ?

BG> No, what Cooma crowd is this then?

RS> Sorry, thought you already knew about them and only needed reminding.
RS> They provide a service of renting out service manuals, flogging copys etc.

I knew that there was some mob hiring out manuals, but not that they were
located in Cooma.  Never used them myself, but I did actually ring them a
minute or two ago.

RS> High Country Service Data (Private Mail Bag #3,Cooma NSW 2630)

Thanks for that.

RS> Yeah, worth an ask.

Well, he was a very helpful fellow, but of the 35,000 manuals he keeps in
stock, not one of them is from Canon.  He's had the same problem, Canon
refuse to supply service information to anybody other than their official
authorised agents.  Might ring Canon in the USA tonight, and if that draws
a blank, may have to bite the bullet and pay somebody else to repair the
bloody thing.

Regards, Bill
