Complete service manual with detailed and very readable schematics for the 
Orion and Orion 2 are still on lone at RKR.

Many schematics of older radios are still there too.

Why waste paper printing those up if anyone can download them for free.

My Icom Pro2 has a schematic but I need a microscope to read it.
