Yesterday I got an e-mail back from my query and they did send a .pdf file
of an advertising sheet with the schematic.
There is enough information here that I believe someone could put this kit
together and make it work.
It uses a 6BQ7A in a cascode RF amplifier with a 6U8 oscillator/ mixer. The
poop sheet claims
0.5 microvolt sensitivity. This particular converter has an output of 7-11
Mhz.

Somebody with knowledge of VHF and a good set of hands could have a lot of
fun with this.

By the 1980's, Nuvistor tubes (6CW4, etc) had pretty well become the
standard for 2m RF amps and converters.
The info from ICM shows a retail price of $12.95 for the kit, so I rather
believe it is from the
late 1960's or early 1970's.

I would still like to find the complete original construction information
for this FCV-2 converter kit.

I am looking for the schematic and (hopefully) the assembly instructions
for
a frequency converter (6m? or 2m?) kit Model FCV-2 that was sold by
International Crystal Mfg. Co. of Oklahoma City. It uses two tubes. I
have
the kit (NIB) and all the parts - but I don't have the schematic or the
instructions. Help? Anyone.
Thanks, Bruce

Contact ICM! They still have instruction sheets on some of the modules
they sold in the 1980s.... I would not be surprised if they didn't have
instruction sheets on the earlier ones as well.

What is the front end tube used on this one?
