Found a set of old service bulletins '68-'83

[jwray]

I came across a 3-ring dealer's binder with (what appears to be) most all of the original service bulletins from 1968-1983 for the 100/125cc Penton->KTM bikes.

Would be happy to scan them all into PDFs for the group, just wanted to check and see if someone already had done it.  No need to spend the scanning time if the docs are already out there (for free) and I just missed them.  

Any interest?

I'd be interested in a complete hard copy set, if you could??

I can't offer a hard copy, but the intent is scan them to PDF files and give them to POG for free member use.  Unless somebody says otherwise those PDFs can set to permit printing of hard copies.  It also would need some well-brained POG member help to be sure all are properly sequenced and indexed.  Some of the first bulletins from John have no date on them but make mention of upcoming races, so I am sure some POG head will be able glance and know what year they are from (smile).  Some pages are letters to the dealers, dealer intro docs, etc.

Many of the pages are partially damaged/worn so it would take some serious hours to get everything scanned. Just don't want to do it if the same docs are already available for free use.  Once its all scanned and archived I might be coerced into parting with the originals...

here are very rough scans of:

Jonathan....First let me welcome you to POG. It's always great to find another "Penton Guy".

As to your service bulletins, in my opinion they are priceless and would be a true asset to the Group. I think it's safe to say that preserving the history of Penton Sportcycles is monumental. Perhaps the sheets could printed and displayed at events.

How many pages total??? I've got a few of the bulletins from odd sources, but a full set would be good to have. If you trust me with them, I have my own printer, I could make a set and send you back the originals.

I would like to have a copy of the scanned service bulletins. If you could post them here or e-mail them to me I would be grateful. Thanks.

Best regards, Richard Beck
