[Heathkit] Chippewa!

I recently acquired a bunch of boatanchor rigs and one of the items
was the infamous Chippewa amplifier.  It is dirty but appears to
complete, and original, with only one mod done to it.  As seen in the
pics below, an NTE51 switch transistor was wired in at some point.
I'm not quite sure what this is for yet.  I plan to clean it up and
put it back on the air.  If anyone knows where I could find a complete
copy manual, please let me know.  The copy on BAMA is incomplete.  If
I decide to re-kit the rig, I'm going to need the entire manual.

BTW, in the first pic you'll see that the plate meter is broken.
Well, look at what I have in pic 3. ;-)

Here are some pics:
