PHOTOFACT® is recognized as the world's best and most accurate service documentation available today. For over
55 years, Sams has used, and continues to use, a process called "reverse engineering" to create
Photofact. Reverse Engineering is a process in which the equipment is disassembled and each component and circuit is checked and documented. Each Sams schematic is drawn accurately in a consistent, standardized format which makes it easy to use and simple to understand. Sams offers PHOTOFACT service data in the traditional paper version or now in the
new electronic version called E:fact®
which only contains the basic information of schematic,
parts list, and placement chart to enable a timely repair. To see if Sams has the data you want,
search our database of over 180,000 products or visit your local
Sams' Distributor or e-mail
your request to one of our customer service reps or call us at 1-800-428-SAMS. Our phone lines are open
8:00am to 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time year around.
