[HBQRP] Looking for info for Ten-Tec Power Mite and accessories...

At an estate sale in 1995, I bought an enclosed metal box which the
auctioneer described as "looks like radio stuff" and, without really
looking at it, stashed it in my junque box (a.k.a. "garage") with the
rest of my "stuff" until I could find the right round tuit.
Last week I finally got "around to it" and learned that I have a Power-
Mite transceiver (PM1 is silk-screened(?) on the lower-right-front
corner of the cabinet, but PM2A is [ink-pad?] STAMPED on the lower-left-
rear corner). This is the one-large-circuit-board version EXCEPT that
this one ALSO has a "daughter" board mounted vertically above the main
board. (I can't identify the daughter board beyond the number
"90054" and the fact that it has one transistor, three
resistors, an inductor, and four capacitors on one-HALF
of the board; the other half has pc traces but no parts).
My metal box ALSO contains/has:
* the top and two end pieces of the PM1/PM2A case,
* an UNinstalled AC-2 monitor ("90017") in original cardboard box,
* an UNinstalled AC-3 converter ("90035") in original cardboard box,
* an AC-4 SWR meter in its Ten-Tec cabinet,
* an AC-5 tuner in its bottom-half-only Ten-Tec cabinet,
* a carrying handle on top,
* a hasp with which one can lock
* a flip-down front panel on which is mounted
* a J-38-like key, and
* enough cables to make everything work.
It's all "slick as a whistle" except for the name "McGinty" and his
Social Security number scratched faintly on the top of the case.
BUT, beside a "Power-Mite PM1 & PM2 Instruction Sheet No. 6", there
are NO MANUALS or SCHEMATICS!
Ten-Tec will sell me few-page manuals for $8.50 each, but I don't
want to waste $40+ until I know if it's going to be worth it.
Does anyone have manual(s) that I could photocopy for less?
