Hello John If you decide to put on the air I have number of manuals two for the 618t and one for the whole system which is a Collins manual show the cicuit for big green box which is called a MRC-108, I used to have a 618T3B which is 100Hz channel steps, but I sold it in moment of weakness. The manuals I have are for sale.
