Hi, Rob

The Eico 720 a nice c.w. transmitter. A connector is included
on the back for connection of an optional plate modulator.

A friend from my old radio club used one on 80m.
He was ten miles from me, and I could tell his TX by the slight
key clicks. The Eico has cathode keying, so beware
of simply plugging in a keyer unless it uses a relay output.

http://BAMA.sbc.edu has a manual, but it is in DJVu format.
If you would like a stand-alone DJVu viewer program
for Windows, I can fix you up.
