[Milsurplus] Mackay 128 manual needed.

SOMEONE here must have the complete Mackay 128** manual. There were thousands of 
those receivers used in ships, and some were still in use up into the 1990s.

Some time ago, I found a very poorly scanned copy of the Coast Guard manual for the 
128AY, the RC-123, which was missing two critical pages, one from the schematic and one 
from the wiring diagram.

I managed to eventually find the missing page from the schematic, and incorporated that 
into the copy I had, but was never able to find the missing page from the wiring diagram.

I have forgotten where I originally found the Coast Guard manual, but I spent many hours in 
Adobe Photo Editor straightening the pages, cleaning them up, assembling them the best I 
could, making a PDF out of them, and posting them to my website here:

Apparently that effort is now scattered across the internet with (of course) no mention of 
where it came from, but I don't care about that. I put it up there for people to have.

If ANYONE here has a complete manual for the Mackay 128 series receiver(s), I (and many 
others) would be most grateful if you could either send me the manual so I can copy it and 
return it at my cost, or send me a properly scanned copy of it so I can eventually post that to 
my website.

Anyone?

Please?

I know that there is at least one person who frequents this forum who has the needed 
manual, but despite my attempts to contact him repeatedly over the years about it, he has 
not so much as deigned to answer my requests.
