Answer
Hi Ray

I don't know where you can get a manual for these--they change models and names a lot.   I did find a manual for the 311:

But I have an even better bunch of information for you.  Here is a website written by a couple of serious telescope makers about how to improve and refine your telescope so that you really do get the most out of it.

And drop me a note if you have any questions about it---it's really good info.
