Help!
I need the Operator's Manual for a Blackstar 1410 Video Monitor Tester.

I have fixed it, but need to know how to drive it to its fullest.
I would love to know what all those dip switches on the back panel do.

Please help.

Wayne.

Both instruction and service manuals are listed here: http://www.telford-electronics.co.uk/manual.php?alpha

I contacted Telford Electronics but they have sold out of the manuals for this model.

Please continue to search for any information.

Thanks

Wayne

You would think that they would still have electronic copies archived somewhere.

My company still has documentation and manuals for products going back 30 years sitting in zips on our servers. The other day in a search I found a manual still in Wordstar format!

The dipswitches would probably be for early parallel binary type EDID for the VGA output and sync options I guess. Flip 'em and see!
