[Milsurplus] DP-12 Manual Needed

I recently became the owner of a DP-12 radio direction finder built for the 
US Navy by RCA in 1940.......can anyone tell me where I might find a manual 
for it (original or a photocopy)? Hard to believe, Robert Downes doesn't 
have it. A number of years ago I obtained a partial copy from Fair Radio but 
I would like to have a complete one.

For those who don't know about this receiver, it's a 1930's design, tunes 
100 - 1500 KHz, measures 13" x 24" x 18" and weighs a mere 93 pounds 
(without the power supply).

For those who own a DP or are familiar with this beast, any comments or 
advice you would care to offer would be appreciated.
