[Milsurplus] BC-AR-430 Transmitter Need Info and Schematic

[Jim Hill]

I purchased a BC-AR-430 transmitter from W6IEE at the TRW Swap Meet 
today .  It looks fairly complete, missing tubes and tube bay cover 
plate, but with a plug in coil set that covers 40 meters. The coil 
set has a black crackle finish, while the remainder of  the rig is 
plain aluminum.  I assume there's a Navy version and the coil set 
came from a Navy unit.  Fortunately, there was a tattered piece of 
paper in the tube area that has a hand drawn schematic.  It's a MOPA 
rig, running VT-25A's (10Y) for the oscillator and final, plus two 
VT-52's (45 special with 7.5V filaments) in parallel as the plate 
modulator.  I have two 10Y's, and running the rig on CW will avoid 
the need for the 45 specials.

Does anybody have info on this rig?  Does it have adequate stability 
for 40CW?  What plate voltage does it use?   Is a schematic 
available?  There's a number of X'ed out lines on the schematic 
(mostly in the modulator), so think some mods have been made.  I'm 
going to Office Depot or Kinco's in the near future and repro the 
paper, then open it up and see what's there.
