Some of them are .rar compressed files so you need a program that opens them. They have some free rar programs if you do a search.

Thanks, I downloaded a "rar" program and that did the trick.  My 50/50 is one of the earlier models, but it seems it seems to follow this MkIII manual pretty closely.

Hi mindink, welcome to the forum. Here's a site that you can download the 'operating manual' but unfortunately, it doesn't have the schematics.

Luckily, Bob Schneider has generously provided a link to a jpeg of it in this thread;

Have you pulled the boards and cleaned the contacts? Also the all the switches and pots will probably a need cleaning.
I have tried downloading that manual, but after it downloads I get a "windows cannot open this file" error.  Is there a trick to opening this file after it has been saved to my computer?  Or is there a better source to download a manual for an 8 Track 50/50?
Thank You
