No cracks about the QRP club membership please!

I'm currently "fostering" a Marconi Conqueror ships TX, I've finished cleaning and assesing it as far as I can without the manuals, can anyone help these, the original keeper is doing what he can to help, but the more info the better.

The Internal Fire Museum of Power has the manuals Tyso, and maybe a Conqueror in working order in the ship's radio room section.

I'll be going there on 25th, my favourite museum of all, well worth a visit. What will you do for the 3-phase power?

Thank you for the suggestions so far, the museum has already been helpful, but they are really busy.

As regards 3Ph power, I've got a very large and noisy diesel generator available, ex fairground I think, last used to power four post lifts at a garage, but would prefer a rotary type converter, or as a last resort see if the PSU in the TX is modifyable to 1Ph, won't need to go to full power.
