Paul,

The TT-107 operator & 2nd echelon maintenance manual TM 11-5815-257-12 
is on line somewhere - search for it.

The TT-107 family is just the reperforator section of the AN/GGC-3 
(major component = TT-76), so the AN/GGC-3 manual will give you most (if 
not all) of the mechanical information. (wiring would be different, but 
there is not much wiring in the TT-107)

A good source for KLI manuals (although not the TT-107) is at 
http://rattrig.com/manuals/tm's.htm
You can find the AN/GGC-3  TM 11-5815-238-35  maintenance manual there.

The RATTRIG.com website is all about the Army's RTTY (RATT) 
communications shelters of the 1950-80s and they all use KLI equipment 
after the mid 1950s.

Have fun,

Duncan
