Is this a book you've seen before ? Picked it up at the GAF last September and just got to looking at it. It's 192 pages of data, adjustments, repairs, and overal info and included a seperate wiring diagram. See pictures below. The author is Peter Russek and it was published in England in 1975
The ISBN No. 0-903168-93-6

It's clearly no match for George's Tech Tips 800.

I have one I'm thinking of putting on Ebay but the only one on there is selling for EUR 199 or $232 US. That seems obscene to be asking that much.
What do you guys think a real value on that book would be?

They sell for around $30 normally. Some of the stuff selling on Ebay is just obscene. Just like Patrick Patere book selling for $200+ when there 100K books printed. They sold new for $24.95 shipped.
