[Gonset] Prototype Gonset

[Eugene Rippen]

I have what I believe to be a Gonset Prototype, that was never put into 
production.

It appears to be 6M transceiver of the kind to have separate receiver, and 
separate transmitter.

It has a built in DC vibrator supply. It looks like it also worked from an 
external AC supply (see the 12 contact Jones plug jack on the back). 
However, maybe it is a combination DC and AC supply.  If so, then the same 
two SS diodes work as rectiifiers in both operations.

I don't  have the schematic.  However the component chassis may have some 
relationship to chassis that were part of other units.  I am trying to 
figure out the Jones plug connections; here again, maybe there is some 
similarity to some actual production models.

I have looked at about 12 - 15 schematics.  I saw no separate AC supply. 
Some had combination AC and DC supplies, and they also used 12 contact Jones 
plugs (as my set does).  So maybe I'm wrong, maybe this has a combination 
supply.  In each
schematic that showed the wiring for a jones plug, the 110 V AC went to pins 
5 & 8.  If I did that, the (working side of the) switch on the front would 
short them. The toggle switch on the front is a 2 pole single throw.  One 
side of the toggle swirch is not working.

The best I can figure out on the Jones plug is:
1   To the non-working side of the toggle switch.
2   Pin number 2 on the 4 prong vibrator
3   Pin number 4 on the vibrator
4   No connection
5   To the working side of the switch
6   To the transformer
7   Chassis ground
8   Other terminal of the working switch
9   Transformer
10  Chassis ground
11   Other terminal of the non-working side of the switch
12    Pin 1 of the vibrator

What I am looking for is either an expert on Gonset, or maybe some one who 
worked at Gonset who can give me some more info than I have admitted to 
above.
