Historical WAD Schematic Diagrams

[Greg.]

I have noticed a there has been recently an increase in the number of requests for copies of old WAD kit build instructions and schematic diagrams. I realise that the intellectual rights of this information is owned by Matthew, however, he does not possess much of this information on the older kits.

I was wondering, with the help of the membership, if a library of this historical information could be collated. A list of all WAD kits could be made and members in possession of the relevant material could offer it to WD forum to be held under the control of the moderators.

When a request is made for this information, that request can be scrutinised by a moderator and where appropriate, released to the inquirer privately.

Such a scheme would compile a historical library to enrich WD's heritage and prosterity and could be of great benefit for those who join the forum, typically because they have just acquired a secondhand amplifier with no paperwork.

I appreciate it would involve a little work. I would happily facilitate this myself, but of course, I am not a moderator. It would initial require the need to make a list of all the amps and speakers WAD produced, followed by an appeal for the information here and suitable places elsewhere on the internet.

Maybe Matthew and the moderators would like to have a conversation about my suggestion to consider its viability. I would be willing to undertake the task in isolation of being a moderator if this is considered feasible.

What do you think?
