Yes sir.  I have the original manual with it.  It works ever so sweetly.

I am planning on checking it out by insertion of sig from sig 
generator.  I'll check to see how it stacks up to the readings I'm 
supposed to see.

I will only dig in and align IF it comes out to be off or below 
appropriate values.  If it is pretty close, I'll leave it alone.

So far my only noticed item is the switches MAY need some DeOxit or 
Silver Dip and a "rinse".

On an indoor homebrew 2ft square loop of #26, (twenty or so turns), it 
did very well.
