Numerous times Tom Wesenberg has posted Service Bulletins on ebay, but I'm never able to catch these in time and usually don't bid high enough to win either. Will the versions the Model A dealers sell suffice?

filedata/fetch?id=41502&d=1554104026&type=thumb The one you show in the link has a smaller page size than the original, and is not really complete.
This one would be a better choice: https://www.amazon.com/Service-Bulle.../dp/B00435JLJE
It isn't printed on glossy paper like the ones that Tom W posts, but is a whole lot less expensive.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I don't see why not. My understanding is the the reprints have smaller pages and smaller printing
Tom posted a Ben Staub version from eBay a while back and I grabbed it right away, glad I did.
It will always hold its valueComment

Agree the yellow book in post #1 is to small.. The green book that Carl posted is the next best thing if you don't buy the Ben Staub.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I took the green book and Un bound it, three hole punched it, put it in a three ring binder. I use it in the shop and keep the staub version in the houseComment

Is the yellow hard bound version a complete compilation?Comment
-
I haven't checked it page by page either, but I've been told there are several pages that were considered "non essential" that are indeed missing. I do have both the yellow and the green books, so if things ever get really boring . . ..gif "rofl")
Having said that, the print in the yellow book is so small that it might as well not be there for these old eyes.

After one of Ben Staub's books sold for almost $200, there were all of a sudden several showing up on ebay, but I haven't seen any lately.
I don't car for the small yellow book, but have wondered how the green book is?Comment

The hard yellow is 6X9. Now I’m looking at it, I guess the print is a little small? Although it never bothered me until you mentioned it! A friend showed me his older yellow paperback version. Now THAT is small.Comment

Got my copies of the Service Bulletins today. Yeah I found an old hard bound version of the yellow book that's got some hand written pencil notes written in the front, good shape for an old book a little dirty, and bought cheap on amazon. It's a 57 copyright with a revised 1972. The green book is fresh new in the wrapper. Definitely worth having at least one of these with a preference for the green book. The ol yeller book goes out in the garage. I might toss it in the trunk because it matches the rest of the car somewhat.Last edited by Dennis; 12-07-2017, 03:30 AM.Comment

The yellow hard cover book was one of the first Books I bought many years ago.
I marked black ink squares on the outside edge of each year to make it easy to pick the year I was searching for.
Later I was lucky enough to buy a Service Bulletins put out by the national clubs, before they ran out and didn't make any more.Comment

Years ago Ben Staub made the very best reproduction of the original Model A Service Bulletins. Every once in a while they show up on ebay. I bought a set about 15 years ago. These are a bit high, but if you want the best, here is a set now on ebay.

Going through my grandparents stuff I found this tucked away on a bookshelf. At first I though it was just a well used repro service bulletins but its different, the pages are slightly different, some are stamped by dealers, and it goes well into the V8 era instead of stopping at model As. Is it a collection of original service bulletins?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Here's a link to the Colorado Springs Goodwill store for the Service Bulletins by Dan Post from 1957 for $10.75 with free shipping.
I think this is the same as the small yellow book, which doesn't include some of the original pages as found in the Bulletins by Ben Staub, or the ones the national clubs used to sell in the 3 ring binder. It's a good buy for the price, and has all the pertinent...06-20-2017, 10:35 AM -
