[Techtoolslist] Any Taito Bench Tester documentation available?

I picked up one of thes Taito Multi-Checkers/Bench Tester a while back
myself and have been looking for any manuals for a while myself. I look
forward to them being uploaded. I though sure I posted here asking for
them, but no replies. Maybe you hadn't found them yet.

BTW, the guy who wrote Kram lives about 10 minutes from me, 2 house down
from a good friend of mine. I see him a lot in the summers as if he's
outside doing something in his yard, I'll stop by and BS with him about "the
old game days". I didn't know he had any involvement with the Bench Tester,
but sure makes sense. I'll have to hit him up to see if he's got any info.
And yes his name is Mark, and yes that's where Kram (backwards) came from.
His boss said come up with a name, and it would have been called anything he
said. What's the guy's name who worked for Taito Of Australia? I'll ask
Mark about him. Might give me some leads!

Well, that didn't take as long as I thought it would :)


It's definitely called a "Taito Multi Checker" rather than the widely
accepted name of "Taito Bench Tester".


The manual could really do with re-scanning but what I've just uploaded will
have to do for now since it's the best I have and don't have a lot of time
to re-scan it at the moment.


As a complete aside, I got the documentation from a guy that used to work
for Taito of Australia - i think (i could be confusing it with the manual
for the Taito Test Tech - one came from eBay, the other this chap). The
guy's next door neighbour (allegedly) wrote Kram (named after him since he
was called Mark and couldn't think of anything else!). I got into an email
exchange with him over these two bits of kit (the Taito Test Tech is Taito's
answer to the cat box). I've not been in touch with him for a long time now
though unfortunately. I have no reason to dispute what he was telling me
since he came up with the goods. His neighbour had remembered using the
multi checker but only knew of the test tech.


Anyway, a scan of a poorly photocopied manual is better than no manual at
all, right?


It has generalised instructions and a full wiring diagram. Unfortunately,
not schematics but I don't seem to remember there being that much on the
boards inside.


Hope it helps!


Oh, manual needs to be approved and moved somewhere before it will be
available for download.

Hi All,
Recently picked up a Taito Bench Tester (similar to:

and was wondering if any documentation is out there for it. Manuals,
schematics, pinouts, etc?? If you have any leads, I would appreciate it!

Thanks
James
