My favorite resource is the book The Perfect Portable by Nancy Johnson-Srebro. Not only has she done a lot of research, she also has printed practically the whole manual in big picture. My copy is all greasy from using it for oiling! I bought this book the same night I found my FW in an antique store and used to decide wether we ought to buy. We did and I've never been sorry.
