Mike's right Paul, those scans by KE3GK are by far the highest resolution Rider's available.
Where the high-res scans really shine are when you want to magnify (zoom in) an area to read a component value, etc. Some of the Rider schematics were poor quality to begin with so these scans won't correct that, but with the better quality of scans I can get by over 90% of the time now without digging out my big manuals.
Another issue is what happens on large fold-out pages. Every other scanned copy I've seen, including Radio Data, chopped it into two pages with gaps of information missing. I think KE3GK must have had access to a very large bed scanner because his come out as one large (and complete) page.
