avo: Better quality schematic diagram
I discovered today that a far better quality schematic diagram can be found when searching for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the AVO Transistor Analyser Mk. 2.
The Mk. 2 has a mains power supply, but the bulk of the main circuit is identical (apart from a 3rd push switch to select a 150mV sensitivity with the METER SWITCH in position 1.5V.
The handles are also bent sideways, so that the METER and AMPLIFIER connectors are reachable with test leads with normal straight bananaplugs. The handles for the CT446 are straight above the connectors, making them difficult to connect to.
The Mk2 also has 3 pages (without page numbers) with component listings titled FIGURE 7, FIGURE 8 and FIGURE 9, located nearly at the end of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS manual. These component listings are referring to the respective schematic diagrams following thereafter.
Just preceeding these component lists are several (numbered) pages that look like being copied from the CT446 model.
As I was looking for the values of the voltage divider R42 and R41, I noticed that R42 is erroneously listed twice on page 32 : see Item No 3 and No 8, while R41 is missing.
On the lists found further down, in FIGURE 9, both resistors R41 and R42 are correctly showing, apparently with correct values.
When servicing the CT446, these lists and schematic diagrams found in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Mk.2 can be of great help finding out the component numberings and values for the CT446.

Thanks, Michael, I corrected this.
