Default OS Minitron 10 channel reed set

I recently aquired an OS Minitron 10 channel reed outfit which looks to be in good order. Before I start restoring the outfit I would like to check out what documentation may be out there. Circuits would be great but unlikely, instructions and connection/wiring diagrams would be helpful. The wiring to the reed bank is easy to trace but there are three other Rx wires colored red, blue and white. A quick look at the PCB suggests red is batt +, blue is batt -, but white is still unknown. I believe the Tx is 12V operation and the Rx is 6V. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Alan

Alan,

This from a review of the OS Minitron 12 in July 1966 RCM&E. Might help if you can read Japanese

Thanks for the diagram Ray, I will have to brush up on my Japanese! Looking at the diagram I think the white wire I refered to is for the earphone monitor. I don't have a copy of the July '66 RCM&E, would it be possible to have a scan of the review? I can PM you my email address.
