This page is intended to help people who might be trying to get their old Paia 8700 working.  The schematic, as originally published, seemed to lack certain details, so I have redrawn this using Orcad and layed out a new PC board using Protel.  I don't intend on making any of these boards.  However, I will post both the Protel file and also the CAM files so you can if you wish get the boards made yourself.  They should be mechanically the same as the original.  It is posible there might be a few circuit differences, but they should be functionally the same.

So here is more. :) In fact, this is kind of embarrassing, I did not realize I had already created a web page for the Paia 8700.  Well, I finally scanned the Assembly and Using Manual into a PDF.  I mean, it has only been 18 years, come on, you knew I would get around to it eventually ;). 

So here is the manual for the 8700.
