Interesting: I have a Triplett 3444 (not the "A" model) which is a darned 
good machine. However, at the moment I have nothing which shows me 
how and where to adjust the various voltages. The selenium rectifiers in 
it are getting very leaky and I want to change them before they take out 
a transformer.
