No fault, I just want the manual in case it decides to go down on me.
BTW, model number from rear panel is "1451 DS", serial number 204465. It has
a TTL-level RGB interface, but the contrast control on the front panel
doesn't have any effect - I think it's been switched over to Analog mode. It
seems to work fine when connected to a BBC Micro (Master 128) though.
Oh, and the control panel cover (the flip-down thing that hides the contrast
control) is missing. But I can live without that.

Microvitec have put a notice up on their website - "We do not sell service
manuals or schematics for our products. All servicing must be performed by
Microvitec". It's in the "Service" section of their website
(www.microvitec.co.uk IIRC).

Later.
