We are asking you to reflect on how valuable you find our offerings, whether you believe in arcade, coin-op, and video-game preservation, and whether you would be able to give at least $5. If you have given in the past and we still provide you with value, please kindly donate again. If you have never contributed, please consider joining our efforts today. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we'd be well on our way to reaching our goals. All that matters is that you choose to support our preservation efforts. Every contribution helps, whether it's $2 (a common first donation), $5 (the most common donation amount), $12 (the average), $20, $50, $100, or more.

If you don't find what you are looking for here, a good place to hunt for manuals is eBay. Additionally, for games made fairly recently, manuals may be found on manufacturer web sites. Manufacturers still in business include Namco Arcade and Stern Pinball
Please note that while we are supported by nearly all manufacturers and coin-op companies, there are a few manuals that we are not able to provide online at this time. In particular, we currently do not offer 'Gottlieb' manuals here, though may offer support for earlier Gottlieb manuals in the future. See our Manual Copyrights & Contact Info page for information about this and for our contact information.
