Hey Rick

Good find.  It's one of the RadioControl xmtr.s from WW2.  I think
mostly used for running gunnery drones

I've never seen a diagram... but a pal common sensed one out
& applied power to front connector & has it on 6 AM

Think there's 2 variants.  One with RF by 3 815s in a TU-75
strip lifted from a BC-400 75mhz marker beacon.  A fourth 815
is modulator.

Then there's anmother with an 815 modulator & 815 final with
6V6 'glue' stages.

Both had 5 tone-freq. generators

And as a kid I had a TU-75 on 6.  There were a blue million
of these marker beacon strips in surplus once

Sorry can't be more help but dang thing(s) sure are amazing for
their day.  And adaptation of the TU-75 marker-beacon strip to
R/C was dang smart
