Now that you mention it,  I have a bunch of Crumar schematics around 
someplace,  too.  It was one of the brands we serviced.  One of these days 
I'm gonna have to try scanning some of that stuff...

In the meantime if there's anybody looking for something specific,  let me 
know and I'll see what I can come up with.
