[R-1051] Fwd: different J4 connectors on rear - E to F or G model?

The early type has a 39 pin and the later type a 12 pin.

But for most of the 39 pins, the early type schematic says "NOT TO BE USED".
The pins that are used are for several audio outputs, sidetone, keyline, a
115vac connection, and a coupler interlock - stuff used in the AN/WRC-1
configuration (R-1051 + T-827 + AM-3009). The "auxiliary" 115vac connector
is the one we all use, but in the WRC-1 the main 115vac came in from the
interconnecting box via the 39 pin connector at J4.

I guess they used the same 39 pin connector as the T-827 and RT-618 for
some reason - maybe to make the cabinets identical?

On the G model, only 4 pins are used (two audio outputs) and the other 8
pins are labeled "SPARE". I am guessing that they gave up on the WRC-1 use
with the F or G models.
