Service Manual

[rsmith_1972]

Does anyone have access or know where I can find a service manual for a 1920's Brunswick Madison?

Thought it would be good to have a stickie with all manuals posted here?
Any opinions?

If you ever find anything that is beyond what they had in the catalogs, please be sure to post it here, or at least let us know if it exists.

My impression is that tables in those days were about like machine tools before WW2. Maybe a page of specs/inspection report and notes on weight & where to lift. Beyond that, mostly installed by dealers' crews who absorbed the lore by osmosis from older guys that took a shine to them, and then eventually passed it on to a younger guy or 2 who impressed or brown nosed them.

I'd be interested to learn if there were even factory-dealer training seminars in those days. There were a lot of tables sold, so it's a multi-decade huge enterprise with very little written about it.
