That $40 wiring diagram book from Spruce paid for itself in one job

I picked up this old school aircraft wiring manual at Aircraft Spruce for 40 bucks last spring. Used it to trace a weird intermittent fault on a 172's nav light circuit that I'd been chasing for two days with no luck. Found a corroded splice in the wing root that wasn't on the digital schematic at all. Has anyone else had luck with those printed Spruce manuals over the factory diagrams?

Digital diagrams miss ALL the hidden revisions that old birds accumulate.

Blew a gasket once following a pristine digital diagram on an old bird.

Printed manuals just know where the bodies are buried.
