[ RadSafe ] Requesting help with locating older Victoreen parts and manuals

[civildefense2002 at aol.com]

Hello fellow list members. We have been looking far and wide for the manuals to some older Victoreen portable instruments. Unfortunately, Victoreen/Fluke Biomedical no longer has these available. Any format - electronic, fax, or original - would be perfectly acceptable.
 
1. Victoreen 490 "Thyac III" low-range survey meter.
2. Victoreen 493 low-range survey meter.
3. Victoreen 692 low-range ion chamber gamma survey meter.
 
We are also looking for a replacement ion chamber to the Victoreen 692 as well. The 692 is very similar to the somewhat older Victoreen 592B pictured at http://www.civildefensemuseum.com/southrad/victoreen-592b.html , if that provides a reference. The ion chambers may be interchangable between the two models, but I am not sure.
 
On a personal note, I have been looking for one of the CD V-718 Model 1 instruments that FEMA issued out back in 1994. This would be for my collection of civil defense instruments. If anyone has a lead, that'd be most appreciated.
 
I really appreciate any assistance provided. Please all have a pleasant week.
