B1667A Help

Does anyone have a manual (or at least hookup and basic function info) for a B1667A MDC unit?
I was just given one with a bunch of other radio stuff... I got the power supply, but no other cables, and no documentation at all.

Moved to Infrastructure as this is console equipment.

OK, I got the operators manual and service manuals for the B1666 / B1667A from ebay.
Here is basic hookup information.
The 25pin connector, looking at the back of the console, is numbered like this:
13-----------1
25-----------14
Needed pins are:
1: Ground
2: Audio In
4: PTT
17: Audio out
As far as the serial port, it wants DTR-based flow control, 8N1, with a default speed of 1200baud. The connector is strange, though... it wants DTR on pin 9, not pin 4 where it should be. I made my own serial cable like this:
MDC............PC
2................3
3................2
5................5
9................4
Hope this helps anyone searching for information on these consoles.
