Default Racal RA98C-1 Independent Sideband Adaptor.

I was able to obtain a Racal RA98C-1 Independent Sideband adaptor to go with my RA17L.The C-1 was originally used to select the best sideband from overseas shortwave broadcasts of say,the Test cricket from the UK broadcast to Australia.The audio bandwidth is far superior to the run of the mill 98 and there are several other filtering improvements etc.making the adaptor quite complex to align without the correct information.In five years,I have not been able to locate an Operating & Maintenance Manual for this fine bit of gear,can anyone help me find this elusive bit of information?
Thanks for the read,Brian g.

try Henk Goojen:

he has a lot of scanned manuals, and it is worthwhile emailing him.

If that doesn't work, you could try VMARS.

The problem with a lot of Racal equipment is that the variants and specialised bits of kit were only produced in small numbers and for particular customers, and the manuals for any kit are often harder to come by than actual units.
