I purchased a book lot of 300 various books. One of the books was a small booklet titled:
The Standard Stroker Instructions for it's Care and Operation (Type A-1).
Book is 8 pages with additional 2 large foldout diagram pages with parts list. I sell books on eBay and was hoping to get more detail and possible value before considering a sales listing. Attaching an image of the front of the booklet, can provide more as needed. Any assistance is appreciated. If this type of post is not allowed, please let me know.

To a collector, I'd estimate the booklet to be worth $5 or $10.

To somebody with a type A-1 stoker to either operate or repair/restore, it's priceless !!!

Welcome to RyPN,

Rico, turn off Spellcheck. It's Stoker, not StRoker.

You're no fun.

Just doing my job. I also work in the malapropism unit.

I think your being obsessive.

I really hope that's intended as good sarcasm.

[EDIT: looks like you 'got' at least one already...]

you're*

Yes, that's the joke.

Check the sticker on your ultrasonic sarcasm meter, the calibration might be out of date.

Sorry, I guess only someone who has graded thousands of college students' written submissions and seen the its/it's, your/you're and their/there/they're etc. mistakes over and over, as I have both as a university professor and before that as a TA, would get the grim humor. I was in fact agreeing with the point Trolleyguy was making: spelling/grammar/word choice mistakes (like stoker/stroker), due to lack of proofreading, take away from your argument, even on an informal board like this. Even now I edit and re-edit posts here on RyPN for grammar mistakes like that, almost every post of mine is edited at least once.

Two points I'd like to make:

1 so wile i wuz amused bye the subject high jacking i wood like to say the following if i may with propper grammer an periods an stuff without runnon sentinses that you can akshually read without having too try too figger out wutts beeing said in runnon sentinses you get sumtimes tiping with thumbs faster than the speed of lite with spell and grammer check turnd like on or off.....

2. Rico, welcome to the RYPN Interchange where one never knows what may happen next in any given thread. Take no offense.

Ok, pleading mea culpa to the mispelling of Stoker. Can I edit the subject line, not that it matter much, just to have it correct for future response and ability to appear in searches? Didn't figure it was worth much, but thought I would ask since most manuals had pages and this one had 2 small poster size diagrams. Some really cool stuff discussed here. Looked here once before but did not register. Had found a glass Semaphore lens for a lantern/light from 1878, made at Corning Glass.

Just click edit and it will let you delete the extra r. Also, misspelling has two s's. Sorry.

As Sammy said about the manual, for someone restoring a semaphore that needed that lens it would be priceless.

Rico has evidently edited the topic line in a reply, which does change the displayed title for that particular post. Any replies to that changed post should also have the 'corrected' topic line -- but I find mine didn't, and I had to go back and edit the 'r' out.

Changing the subject line in a post does not change the spelling of all the prior posts, and perhaps more significantly it does not change the name displayed in the listing of Interchange posts. I think he has to go back to the original post where he started the thread and edit the topic line in that one, and I do not think that change will carry forward to the subsequent posts that had the suggestive spelling in them...
