Somebody got it, whether they need it, or it's just some pop art for them remains to be seen.

I will say this... I wasn't surprised to see it was only 8 pages, and you can figure five of those (at best) probably contained relevant information, a lot of it probably in picture form. I've seen early color TV owners manuals, and for all the hype around color TV, those owners manuals are "light reading".

Suppose this is more of a 50-60s thing though. I recently came across a box of owner's manuals for the Chrysler Turbine car that was semi-released to the public in 1964. The whole manual was 20 pages at best, with about two pages of turbine-specific information! The other 18 was standard-era fare about how to turn on the headlights, how to put the key in the ignition, etc.!

Compare that to today's manuals which are 400 pages of safety warnings for a Chinese toaster.
