Remember when you had to find a service manual for every single TV model?

I mean, back in the 2000s, my bench was just stacks of paper manuals I'd mail-order or photocopy from the library. Now, I just pull up a PDF on my tablet in maybe two minutes, and it's got a search function. Do you guys still keep any of the old paper ones around, or is it all digital for you now?

My dad's garage still has a whole filing cabinet full of them.

That's a serious fire hazard, charles_lewis14. My cousin's place burned down from old paper stored like that. He should really recycle them.

Maybe your dad is lowkey sitting on a goldmine though, @charles_lewis14. Old paperwork can turn out to be worth something if it's the right stuff.
