[Milsurplus] RM-29 Remote control unit question

Jack, the RM-29-(*) manual TM 11-308

  http://radionerds.com/images/e/e4/TM_11-308.pdf

says this:

"Remote Control Unit RM-29-(*) provides remote control voice 
operation of Radio Sets SCR-l78, SCR-284-(*), SCR-299-(*), 
SCR-608-(*), SCR-609-(*), SCR-61O-(*), and SCR-628-(*), and 
other models of similar design.  The unit operates in conjunction
with Telephone EE-8-(*) over a two-wire telephone line."

It's the predecessor to the C-434/GRC local control unit, which with the C-433/GRC remote control unit make up Control Group AN/GSA-6.   (That was in service from pre-Korean War days into the 1980s.)

The RM-29-A and EE-8 would go with my SCR-508, and the AN/GSA-6 would go with my AN/GRC-7 or even my AN/VRC-47.
