A very nice guy called Joe Palermo was going through some stuff and found this. He decided to donate the high quality pictures he took to a facebook group. I downloaded the pics and compiled it into an indexed PDF.

Here is a handy, perfectly readable lores version of this file. I need so sort some serverstuff out, then I will be able to host the higher quality versions I have. Done.

Thanks!
Weird mistake in the FZ-1S schematic. Line drawn wrong shows output of fuzz connecting to R5 instead of R7, and R7 is connected to 9v. It seems the connections of R5 and R7 are swapped from what they should be. Is this already a known issue with the factory schematic?

Wow they really want to keep that sustainer circuit a secret, didn't they! At least I know the values which is what I needed!

Thanks for the heads up -
You are using Linux?
Does this mean you are unable to access the file at all?
If you open the application first, then access the pdf, do you still get the error? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1506
Do you have the same problems with other pdfs?

Yes I'm using Linux, I tried opening the first two files with no success.

Your trick of opening the file directly worked.

The way I've got the browser set-up is it never view files *in* the browser, it always has the pop-up to open or save. If I choose opens it open the pdf in the Evince viewer as an external program with its own window.

Here's the results of the different opening methods:
- Opening via the link - doesn't work.
- Double clicking the file in the Firefox downloaded files list - works. (I thought I did that yesterday)
- Saving the file then open the file directly in the "Files" file manager - works.

Funny thing is I haven't seen that problem before. I must have about 5000 PDFs on my machine.
It's likely not all were viewed via the browser.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm on a Gnome based Linux, and the built-in pdf viewer can get wonky. I use Firefox to view them when this happens. Seems like a kludge, but it works fine.

I did a few updates on my system (Firefox 88.0 and Evince 3.18.2) and now it works.

I've been putting off updates for some time. The updater was failing because of Libreoffice and Wine. I had to manually set-up some new repository locations and import new ppa keys. The Ubuntu updater often screws up when the OS version falls down the list - total PITA.
