I had acquired one as a boy. It was a delight to behold. The insides
appeared miraculous. I had never encountered a truly complex
electronic object before. Although I had no manual, I reverse engineered
sufficient of it to biuld a control unit and power supply.
This device was to
become the operational core of my ham radio setup, it become a stable
source of carrier, a variable IF, and a source of frequency
callibration as time when my hobby were financed through a bit of
pocket money. It taught me enough practical electronics to get me a job and see me through life.
I have searched for 30 years for a manual and schematic for this
classic piece of military history and I finally found one. It is
scanned in its entirety and the images manually cleaned up.
These images are low resolution thumbnails. Click on each to get
the high resolution page or download the entire manual tarball.
Here it is !
