Galaxy, is this thing made by Globe Electronics?
If so, it is from the late 60's or earlier.
You seem dedicated in making silk purses out of sough's ears, why?

I'm sure you know this is a glorified CB radio.   I'm not sure the extra 
features like echo, roger beep, and voice changer will make you  popular on
10 meters.

For what this thing sells for new, you could probably find a nice used ham
transceiver.  Something for which accessible documentation already exists.
Would also  be easier to get  help on this list for a ham rig, compared to a
CB.

Don't think I would want to run this thing at it's claimed 200 watt pep
output, but  if you do, you would need a power supply able to put out 45
amps.

Good luck, whatever way you go.
