BAT was offering a complete set, non-oily, 914/6 set of shop manuals

I dropped out at 1300, bidding went to 3500.

Turns out the Bid-up guys were also from NH - I am in Boston and NH......

Yes, stupid price. But I'm happy to say that I have the exact same full set in VG condition.

I also had and sold the gray binder copy set years ago and I have to agree with BAT posters who commented on poorer quality.

Proceeds from the BAT were to go to a charity which may have helped with the $3100 outcome.

Were you the winner? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Agreed - having a full size, full color set of electric diagrams is desirable.

I do have the PDF version, there are gaps and also version discrepancy within the transmission section - not sure if this set had all of the updated material

You are correct about the transmission section, you can find the info in the 911 pdf also the Sportomatic section has some of the missing information but the specs are different for the 901 box.
