Hi, guys,
if you know this site - just ignore this post.
OK, this is just a note for those of you who from time to time have to search for some manuals and/or schematics. The thing is, that I have no idea how I've got to this page. There's a site which I get often to when searching for gear info and I get to some "dead directories", where there are links to nowhere.
Now, I've found this "mirror" place which actually leads to content. I don't have time nor means to investigate what's what etc., but the point is :) - bookmark this page. There are many manuals there, they are in image, pdfs, djVu etc formats.
There are allot of test equipment there, vintage equipment etc - kind of hard to locate stuff. For example I've found there RCA Voltohmyst VTVMs complete manuals in djVu and gifs format, wavetek signal generators manuals in pdfs (that is instead of paying 40 freaking bucks to some eBay dealer :D )
I see eico, heath there and more.

It appears as of this morning BAMA is no more

Did the big business shut the site down for copyright purposes namely Agilent and Tektronix. Those companies are not selling much new equipment so they find their repair business threatened . The site was there on Friday but today it has totally disappeared.

No. Whoever owns the site didn't have the domain renewed. Its expiry date was today.
 
I am pretty sure I found a manual for an HP VTVM on an HP website. I am pretty sure there is also a Tektronix "unofficial official" site around somewhere.

FWIW the archive is back on its feet anyway - looks like the guy forgot to renew and has fixed it since.
