Did you contact the EAA, they have a big library.

Nope, because in former such cases I only got an advise to ask the
manufacturer.

Former cases from the EAA? Are you a member? If not join?
It is not restricted to USA only.

I'm not a member, and paying the membership for a ~20yr old LORAN unit
is hardly worth it.

That is your choice and problem, there is no free lunch.

Well, at least two other people seem to think different and have no
problem passing the informations they already have to others that are
looking for it. Thankfully there are still people that do that. Im quite
active in several other groups, and people there also just share the
informations they have. You need a pinout? Just ask, and someone who has
it probably will tell you. Honestly I'm a bit surprised about the "if
you wanna know then go and buy the information" attitude here. Where's
the problem when people that have such an unit lying around or in use or
have the manual just to pass the informations?

I simply just see no reason to sign for a membership that costs much
more than this old unit is worth (and still doesn't gurantee that I get
the informations I need), or to buy a manual for a 20yr old worthless
LORAN unit that is in unknown condition just to get the pinout of the
rear connector, especially since this is just a project for curiosity
and also since LORAN probably isn't that common navigation system any
more so there are dozens of retired units around that have no real value
any more.

YMMV, though. Maybe it's ok for you to buy i.e. a 50$ manual to repair a
20$ radio, but don't expect everyone to do the same.

I understand your desire and appreciate that some people did
have the data you needed. But if they did not have that
data, your choice would be to drop the project or buy the
manual. You could even trace the circuits.

But you asked for a manual or data and I suggested a source
that was valid. You became rude because it was not free.
That is your problem, not mine. If you don't think that an
EAA membership is worth the money just for the magazine and
other functions, and all you'd get is the pin-outs, that is
again, your problem

Have a nice day.
