You may not have had one, there certainly were manuals for them.

Well, sure, except:

"WARNING: This manual is being posted only because the exposure counting mechanism (which counts backwards and locks up 
the camera until it is reset after Exposure #1 is taken).  Many people not familiar with these models figure they have 
broken the camera when all they need to do is reset the exposure counter to make it work normally again."
Did you remember that little detail?
