I was glad to see the manual for the similar thing mentioned by Steve Byan at:
http://bunkerofdoom.com/lit/flr9/index.html

I have a TMC multicoupler that seems to share similar parts:  See an 
article by Jan SKirrow, "Cooling the RCA CU-5069/FRD-10A(V) Multicoupler" at:
http://www.skirrow.org/Boatanchors/TechTalk6.pdf

You likely will find the correct cord plug at WM Perry (or at hamfests if 
you are diligent.):

  I'm also trying to locate a manual for the same, any help would be great. 
I have already checked the usual sources on the internet for the manual.

Earlier, Steve Byan posted info from Les Veenstra on the manuals: here it is:
