[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters SM40 S-meter for the S40/A

[Julian Bunn]

It being a rainy day I decided to get out my S40A and SM40 external S-meter and see if
I could understand why the S-meter wasn't behaving as it should (needle always pegged
to the right hand side of the scale).

I opened the SM40 up and found that instead of the three resistors (one variable)
inside being 24M/10M/20M as per the circuit diagram, they are 24k/10k/20k instead.

Does anyone know if the circuit diagram (e.g. at http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/hallicra/sm40/)
is wrong, or if my unit has the wrong resistors?

I can't see that it would matter much as the resistor chain is just a potential
divider for B+, but maybe I'm mistaken?

Thanks!
Julian
