[Milsurplus] TCM-2 - manual

[Thekan, Paul]

Maybe if there are enough of us with TCM’s who would like a copy of the final official Navy manual that Robert has he might consider making some of his excellent copies of it ;>)

I’d buy one.

My TCM-2 manual is also the preliminary one. In format and the binder it looks like a typical Navy manual of the period.
I'm working on my TCM-2 (which came with the original power supply) to restore the connectors in the back on both the transmitter and power supply to the originals (I found the identical connectors to the originals on a stripped BC-191 carcass). A previous owner replaced the connectors with 6 pin tube sockets (why, oh why!). The transmitter, according to a card stuck to the back was used on MARS. I had to trace all the wires to the connectors to identify them and connect them to the appropriate pins on the correct connectors. I just have to make up the interconnect cables (I have the appropriate plugs) and will put it on the air.

 The 1943 Preliminary manual (wherever mine has gotten off to) on TCM-2 and TCU-2 has no
 NAVSHIPS number.  It probably has a GE number but unfortunately I didn't record it and
 cataloged mine as 900,401 PRELIM.  And then didn't put it in the right box.  :-(

Gee, Robert, I thought I was the only one who did that.... :-)

In any case, the more I learn about this thing, the more inclined I am to have it. I REALLY
wish I had never given my NIB one away back in the 1970s. :-(

That one even had the original power supply and the control box.

Oh, well.... I guess...
