I'm almost certain that the beeb service manual is on bbcdocs.com. I'm pretty
sure that the Cub service manual's there too. (takes a couple of mins to fire
up a browser on this old laptop, so you can find out far quicker than I can :-
)

No idea how complete they are. Hopefully they're page scans rather than OCR'ed
text with all the diagrams, schematics and flowcharts removed ;)
