Looking for someplace to find good do-it-yourself speaker sites? Need to find some obscure device code for the Model 1050's remote? Don't know what meter to get from Radio Shack to calibrate your system, or where to find the Video Essentials or AVIA setup discs? The "gunslingers" in the Outlaw Saloon forum have posted a lot of good links, but it's easy to lose them in old posts. Below is a collection of those links; it will be updated and pruned from time to time. (That's the plan, at least.)

Home Theater Master Manufacturer of the 950's remote, which is a re-badged SL-9000. The SL-9000's manual is available online, and can be a useful resource for 950 owners as it offers more detail on the remote's capabilities. As a general rule, notes in the manual referring to the LCD will be replaced by feedback from the LED on the 950's remote (the 9000's LCD was replaced with an Outlaw logo and red LED on the 950's remote).
Note: These thread links are still being updated, as some were caught in the forum archiving recently and are now broken links.
