[Milsurplus] TCS Transmitter Wiring Mystery and a need

[Bill Carns]

Do any of you have an original cable that goes from the TCS Dynamotor to the
Control head.

I have the T & R cables but no Control cable and I would like to find an
original.....  Is this mission impossible ?

Breck,

The roller inductor itself changed (mechanically) around TCS-10.  However, I
don't see any effective electrical change in any of the manuals from TCS
through TCS-15.  All schematics show L-108 connected between the hot side of
the variometer and the capacitor selector switch.

Relocation of the RF Ammeter from the ground side of the variometer to the
antenna post occurred at Serial Number 9363 of TCS-12 production.  G3VKM has
reported finding a Change Sheet in his PIB-TCS-13 showing that the change
occurred from S/N 1387 in that model.  The PIB-TCS-13 and PIB-14 originals
that I have both show the later RFA wiring on the transmitter schematic,
with no Change note as found on the transmitter schematic in NAVSHIPS
900,291 covering TCS-7,9,10,11,12.  However, the schematic in the PIB-TCS-13
is REV A and the one in PIB-TCS-14 is REV C.  No document has yet been
located that shows what S/N the change occurred at in TCS-14.

None of the documents give any explanation for the change.
