[Boatanchors] Needle in Hay Stack

Today, while sifting through stacks of stuff in an attempt to establish some order in my new ham shack, I encountered a Stancor 110CM transmitter I got on ebay about 3-1/2 years ago.  There were a few acorn shells that a now presumably deceased mouse left as payment for his short stay in the cardboard apartment he/she shared with the transmitter.  Had I known the actual condition this ebay offered transmitter I probably would have passed on it and I surely would have had I known how little effort the seller would put into packing it as it got even more beat up in transit.  Anyway, I have a sizeable project in front of me with this 1940-ish jewel.  While I know of the existence of 40P and 60P versions, I have yet to find anyone with a 110CM.  By the way, P is for plate modulation and C or CM is for cathode modulation.  I think the numbers imply the DC input power.  I am curious if any readers possibly have one of these relics?  If so, I'd really
 like to get some photographs, specially of the bottom.  Mine has beaucoup modifications and missing or non-original items.  It appears someone outboarded the HV supply and modulator along with other atrocities.  The good news is that unit is not so complex that I can't figure it out but I don't want to re-invent the wheel unless it's absolutely necessary.  BTW, this will be a strip to bare chassis restoration.

Thank you.
