Yesterday, I attended a large auction of a silent key's estate. The guy was
a bit of a pack-rat and had accumulated all kinds of amateur radio, home
stereo, radio and TV broadcast, electronics test, and computer equipment.
The auction started at 10:00 am and when we left at 2:00 pm, they were still
going.

A weakness overcame me and I bought a Drake TR-7 transceiver and PS-7 power
supply. A few lots later, the auctioneer had grouped a MN-7 antenna tuner
with a Drake Tono Theta 7000E RTTY terminal. I was vaguely familiar with the
terminal, but really wanted the tuner, so I ended up with both.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link to a brief

And, here's a YouTube video that gives an idea of how it works:

Anybody know where I can get a user's manual? I think I can figure it out,
but a manual would be handy.

Maybe if I get this working, I'll try working a RTTY contest with it just
for fun.
