Anyone familiar with this particular item? I have a box here that's about 2"x2" and a little over 24" long, and contained within is a set of Amiga 1000 schematics in 24x36 format, marked with "Cardinal International." Anyone ever see these before?
-
What kind of schematics? Mechanical? Electronic circuits? Logic circuits? Perhaps a photo or two if you don't know...

Circuit schematics. Similar to what you would find in the Amiga manuals.

Sorry for the blurry images; my camera did not want to auto-focus on the page. Even so, you should get the idea.

These schematics have been in their roll box since I got them about 10 years ago now. They rarely see the light of day. However, I noticed that about eight moves have not been too friendly. A customer has a large format scanner that I will take advantage of to make permanent copies for posterity.

I used to have a set of those, back in the day. I seem to recall they were made by someone tracing out the motherboard... the official manuals weren't available to the users, unless you knew a service shop. I sold my set a long time ago.... but since in the meantime, I became a service guy, I could get the "official" set.
Edit: Here's an ad from a 1986 AmigaWorld... I couldn't find a review.
