I thought about sending this the other night after Jeep's last transformer 
update.  But forgot until now.  Some time ago, while helping another 
collector sort out correct numerous wiring errors in a home-brew supply that he 
bought supposedly working, I in effect did up a rather generic schematic 
diagram of what the supply should look like.  It was adapted from the schematic of 
the AC supply for the TCZ-2 (one of the shipboard versions of the ATC).  It 
has has separate MV and HV transformers and shows gas rectifiers but using 
it to wire up a supply using one transformer with two windings and silicon 
rectifiers would be a no-brainer.  What it will show is how properly to 
connect it to the 52286 or T-47 such that all the controls work properly and the 
metering in the transmitter works.  If all you have to go on is a dynamotor 
schematic, it's far from obvious what goes where, due in part to the 
pressure altitude switch and the way in which the HV is derived from two or one 
winding.

If anyone wants a copy, I can email a PDF or mail a hard copy for costs.  
The drawing fits a B-Size (Ledger or 11x17) sheet.
