Hello Jim,
Yes, you have one of the oldies, but goodies. Originally manufactured
by Dick McKercher, W0MLY. He sold out to Larry Reed and then I sorta
lost track of who was doing what. However, the latest version is
described at the following URL: http://www.mgs4u.com/catalog/page1.htm
I can scan a copy of the manual and send it to you by Email if you like.
My manual is for the Model 50, but I believe that it was electrically
the same as the SW-5.
73,
