Not quite the same thing, but 2 monitors I have here (one a Barco colour 
monitor, the other an HP X-Y display) have extender boards stored inside 
to make it easy to work on the plug-in PCBs.

I recently bought a second-hand Philips 'upright' reel-to-reel tape 
recorder, and found a schematic glued to the inside of the case. At one 
time this was quite common on consumer electronic devices I believe.
