Fialka Reference Manual 2.0
ISBN 978-90-79991-01-3

When we first found a Fialka machine in 2005, no information about this machine was available on the internet or elsewhere. So we decided to reverse-engineer the machine and re-create the entire circuit diagram from scratch. All we had available was a machine, a German Operator's Manual and a defective machine that we could take apart.

The result is a 130+ page manual with hundreds of drawings, photographs and circuit diagrams. Part of this manual is available for download below. The full manual is available in printed form only and can be ordered directly from us. Each copy of the manual contains the full circuit diagram printed in full colour at A4 size (at the back of the manual).
