[R-390] OT help

[Don Reaves]

There is yahoo group for Mackay, and I think Collin has already found
it.  He's just casting his net wide and far!   Collin, you might try
searching for MRU-19A.  The 3007A was a part of that system.

A year or two ago a fellow was seeking manuals for a museum
restoration project - he might have a lead.  Here's a snippet he
posted on the AWA forum back in Oct. 2009:

Want manuals for units of Mackay Ship Radio Station MRU-19A, as
follows: H/F transmitter, Type 2013DIF; Main Transmitter, Type 2009A;
Emergency Transmitter, Type 2010A; Auto Alarm Signal Keyer, Type
5100C; Auto Alarm, Type 5002A; Receiver LF/MF/HF, Type 3007A; Receiver
MF/LF, Type 3001A; Power Control Panel, Type 515-4B; Selector Unit
HF/MF, no type number; Transfer Switch, Type MR-761-17. William C.
Ryder, 196 Joshua Tethro Rd., Chatham, MA 02633 Tel. (508) 945-9312

Close as I can get you is a pdf of the Emergency Transmitter Type 2010A.

Tom, I have a pdf of the 3001 schematic if you can use it.  You can
view it right on your iPad!

Speaking of iPads, anyone putting their manuals on one and taking it
to the workbench instead of paper for a repair or restoration?  If so,
how's that working out?
