Robert,

We have the original manuls that match the serial numbers (in the historic  
inventories) for most of the original equipment, including all the  
transmitters, that we still have and for some units that were removed from  
the ship by the Navy or the previous stewards. The DAK that we recently  
acquired we don't have a manual for, it would have been nice if you had  
one! Fortunately, it is functioning and we still have the orginal junction  
box and cross loop antennas and sense antenna.

Do you happen to have the automatic bearing indicator for DAU? It is the  
same type that the DAK used. Here is an image of it from the April 1946  
Catologue of Naval Electronic Equipment.

Best Regards,

Travis
