John...

Somewhere around here I have the operating manuals for the 510,

and the schematics for the 610 (same box with an ADF [I think]

added)...

Understanding the transponder is critical... It's actually the

programming console... Specific settings for localizer and ILS

approaches, for example... The unit came with a set of lesson

plans and audio tapes... The tapes would give ATC instructions

carefully timed to coincide with progress on your flight if you

had the power and airspeeds set right...

I played with mine and some of the tapes which were in horrible

shape and found that it was almost impossible to get it all timed

right... If one understands how to set the transponder functions,

it works better with an instructor playing ATC live...

If I can find them, I'll send you copies of the docs for the cost

of reproducing and shipping...

I just bought one of these with the intention to gut it and use it as the
cockpit for a PC flight simulator setup. However, it still seems to work
and is fairly interesting to use as it is. However, I have no idea how to
use it as it was originally intended; what to set the xponder, ADF, com
and
nav freqs etc. and what to expect.

My google search on it has not turned up much. Has anyone got any
suggestions for use or contacts for documentation?

Thanks. It's a pretty interesting antique.
