Bob,

I didn't see anyone else reply so I will.  The GO-9 is in the sense I'm 
thinking of worse than the GP-7 in that virtually all hams and/or collectors 
(including me for many years) think those two models are unique.  I do have 
information on the GP-6a and GP-6 as well as GP-7 and know of or have heard of 
people actually having a GP-6 and I think it was a GP-2.  But I have never 
heard of a GO earlier than a GO-9 turning up nor have I ever seen nor heard 
rumours of anyone having an earlier manual.  So if you have anything earlier 
than a GO-9 you are probably out of luck manual wise.

I do have a GO-9 manual and sell hard copy reprints of it.  $23.20 plus 
$3.50 shipping CONUS and US Territories.

One other thing, gleaned from SHIPS 242A.  The manufacturer and basic specs 
(output power and frequency coverage) of the GO-7 and GO-8 are the same as 
for the GO-9.  So the GO-9 manual would probably be useful to at least some 
degree.
