I've got a sony ldp-1000 that needs some repairs but for the life of me, I cannot find a service manual for this machine. There is a hard-copy for sale on eBay right now but it's USD$60 + $30 shipping; in CDN funds that would be well over $100 . I'd prefer a downloadable pdf version, does anyone know where I can find one? I don't mind paying, but I can't even find one to purchase.

hopefully this will help you

Thanks for the link, however I already have the manuals they have posted on the page. I searched their forums as well but the LDP-1000 doesn't seem to be one of the very popular players, couldn't really find anyone discussing it. Thanks though, it is a page I hadn't been to.
