[W9RCA-News] RCA ET-4339 RESTORATION

[Ira Curtis]

Hi All! 
After more than 67 years of splendid isolation,  Our sleeping beauty has been found and may come back to life. She will most probably need much more than just a kiss to awake,  but no expense will be spared!  
I have just found a complete set of RCA ET-4339 300W AM/CW transmitters hidden in an attic of the University of Santiago, Chile (USACH), that were on their way to the dumpster. it is basically a rack mounted 3 single channels xtal controlled transmitter  Model MI-4882 with 6V6 osc. 807 soc. amplifier, driving a pair of 812 in push-pull, and of course, a  link output. the 812's are plate modulated by a pair of 811's.
Actually, the amount of bird  droppings  I carried back  home was more  than  the metals...
What I  need from you guys is information. Have any one of you ever heard of these? are manuals, originals or otherwise that I can buy, copy borrow  or steal?  any Photos? leaflets etc? . In other words, I would like to have it as complete as possible and as original as possible.
Of course once done, I will put it on the air on 40 and 15 meters. I will also prepare a website where you will be able to see work  progress. Please help me wake her up!!!
