Mistake, US Army, not Airforce.  It is a limited manual with info on specific maintenance procedures.

Cool find!

That's pretty cool, very detailed.

Be sure to backtrack into the site and look at the listings of manuals, there are almost 5000 of them covering just about everything.  You can find out how to fix you Abrams tank or lube the recuperator on your howitzer

Worth it for the axle bearing diagram alone.

Nice find, thank you.

Railroading is only one of my interests.  I restore WW II vintage radio gear, and always look for sources of manuals.  While checking out the 'liberated manuals' site, going cross eyed trying to find some info on a test set, found this:  http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-55-1279.pdf

This is a US Air Force manual on the GE 44 ton diesel locomotive.

(Off Topic) I have a beautiful Hallicafters SX-62 in my train room. Scared to operate it until its recapped.  Anybody doing this?  Thanks

I have a like new copy of the Department of the Army Technical Manual TM 55-201 dated January, 1957, entitled "Operation Inspection and Maintenance of Steam Locomotives and Locomotive Cranes". 

It is a 358 page manual of about 6" X 9" printed with a brown cardstock cover. My grandfather owned the printing company that did the work and I worked for him for a few years starting in 1959. Virtually all of their work was done for the US government except for the large ACME food market signs that they printed.

I still have a number of the wood letters and numbers that were used to print the ACME signs.

I owned this receiver also, did the rebuild on it, beautiful audio with the push-pull output stage.  Sold it for 300 at the Dayton Hamvention about 8 years ago. It is fairly easy to redo a radio like this if you know how to solder, or more importantly, unsolder.  Manual info is free online if you don't have one.  A few caveats on stuck  tuning coils or trimmer caps.  It is actually easier to find parts and tubes for radio gear made in the 30's and on, than it is for anything solid state from the mid 70's on.  All the tube radio gear makers basically used the same parts for 40-50 years, while the modern stuff has custom IC's and specialty components that were made in one or two runs and that was it.  The real issue is not finding someone to overhaul it, it is the expense involved in shipping it.  We are all making up for the cheap shipping rate places like Amazon get from everybody, where they can send 30 pounds across the country for 10 bucks, while it will cost you 150.
