I have one of these.  Did you get the big power supply
that goes with it?  It's the "Lifeboat" half of a similar unit
that stayed ashore, I was told.  "Lifeboat," in this case, meaning
something we would call a "rescue launch" today.
Not in real clean shape as it's obviously
seen service, but well recoverable.  Neat looking rig.  Probably going
to trade it to Bill Donzelli when I finish making the big pile
of all my radar stuff.
If you find any docs, let me know.
