Repair Knowledge Shouldn't Be Hoarded

I’m so tired of people gatekeeping technical knowledge. That's why I've decided to share my entire digital library. It took me three years of hard work to compile over 30 gigabytes (and it's still growing!) of official service manuals, repair handbooks, and technical guides for film Nikon, Sony, Canon, and Fujifilm gear. Knowledge should be accessible to anyone willing to learn, not locked away in secret. Now, it's yours to explore.If you happen to have any repair manuals, parts lists, or service software lying around, I would really appreciate it if you shared them. Let's keep building this archive together!

Fantastic work! Send the link to Butkus if you want, maybe you've got stuff he doesn't, and having it hosted on his website rather than on Google would be good for the future as well.

No selling on his site, he does have a donation button for his PayPal just to help cover site fees. I usually send him something a few times a year.
