Check with COSATC at ESL. There is a real one (not working!) outside the school and from memory we had some manuals in the trophy case.

quad - how the memories flood back. I was the GCA instructor when the replacement was implemented and for several courses the students did not need to manipulate those 72 "hard to find between your legs in the dark" controls. Don't know what I had done to upset them but DPO send me an all female course. We had a very detailed discussion before the practical stage of the course and I managed to stay out of jail - to this day at least.

I'll put a note into the AMATCA network for you ans see what comes up - in the way of pictures etc!
