Hello ODK History Lovers

Here are a selection of Victa Service Guides released in the 1960s.
Member bestseller tells me that they generally circulated to the various dealers
on a monthly basis from 1962 onward. Dealers also had the opportunity to request
back issues.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The History Forum would like to thank bestseller for the considerable time
taken to locate and carefully scan these guides.
