The first manuals added to my collection

Commodore was pretty inconsistent in their service documentation. Referred to as Service Manuals or technical specifications, they were often just a set of schematics. This page will include any official documentation that I feel includes important service information so some users manuals may be found here. Be aware that some Commodore Service Manuals have the same part number (i.e. the C64/C64C and Model C16 service manuals are both 314001-03)

This post is a work in progress list of all the high quality official documentation I can find. I will also indicate which ones I have in my collection with an * since I want to build a collection of them. Links will be included when I can find a decent quality scan on a trustworthy site like archive.org.
