I have a GATES/HARRIS FS-80 FM Broadcast Stereo Monitor which I intend to use as a multiplex decoder.  The problem is that it was a two parts unit and the power supply was taken from the R.F unit, which I don't have. Looks it needs a unregulated symetrical +V/-V power supply but voltages and currents are unknow. I'm looking for a manual or schematic since many years to no avail. If someone here could remember the voltages, or even better could supply  a copy of the manual (or schematic) it would be very helpful.   
 
I'd go on some of the radio or HAM forums to look.  Those guys will have it, if Gates doesn't.  As an audio signal guy, that's the sort of manual I'd usually ignore and pass by, if I saw it.  Might be described in a catalog online somewhere too. 
 
Thank you for the tip. I already have tried a few HAM's but it seems they have very little interest in vintage broadcast gear: most of them don't even know that COLLINS made broadcast consoles,compressors etc...  maybe I should try again.
GATES/HARRIS are no longer active and none of the manuals sellers have this model listed.
