All, I have in my possession what I have been led to believe is a 
training aid min the guise of a (roughly) crystal-controlled,AM/CW, 40 
meter transmitter*.  I believe it was used to train radio techs.  It may 
have been a sort of kit where techs could possibly learn to build and 
trouble-shoot equipment.  The wiring looks to have been done by a 4 year 
old using a 300 watt American Beauty soldering iron. Its a rack size 
piece, a.c. powered and is apparently screen modulated.  The final is a 
5763.  The front panel says:  "TRAINER TRANSMITTER AM/CW"  There is a 
large logo with "Ft. Gordon Training Aids Division".  Every stage has a 
metered monitor position, both RF and AF stages.  The thing works great 
on CW at about 15 watts. The AM carrier is about 10 watts but no 
modulation (another issue).  I'd like to know more about this thing and, 
more importantly, obtain a schematic such that I can troubleshoot the 
thing.  Thanks for any info.

* Or at least that's where its currently working
