For anyone who has tried to use the online service manual in the Tech Tips sticky and had a problem with it, I think I have it fixed.

Great question!

As of today, it appears the St. Johns County Public Library System of Florida is paying the subscription fees to Ebsco.

You can safely bet that the contract between Ebsco and the St. Johns County Public Library System forbids 'open' access to the database. 'Open' in this case means accessable by users who are not card carrying residents of St. Johns County, Florida.

One day in the near future, the link will fail. This is 'theft of services', and Ebsco will take steps to protect their business interests.

Cool! But the link from the Tech Tips section is now asking for a username and password.

Or is it just me?

Never mind, If you go to a few of the other links posted by the new guy the login info is in the URL!!! just copy it out:

username: s9048444
password: password

Go to the bottom of this page where you see Cadillac Forum Jump. Click on the drop down box and scroll down to Tech Tips. It's at the top of that page.

I tried it and it's all good stuff. My brother gave me a link to the Bedford library in Indiana which is not as good as this one. I sure hope this new link lasts even though the graphics call for some interpretation, it's better than wingin' it! I appreciate the members here who post pictures - very helpful and thanks to all who have taken the time to do that.
