Hi, all--

This little VTVM replacement was discontinued in 1971.  Uses 2ea 9V, and 
one 1.5V-C cell, but the traces are messed-up where the snaps solder to 
the board on this one, and look like the 9V's are in parallel, which 
makes no sense (the red-wire trace goes nowhere!)

After an all-nighter looking, I've only found B & K's (after a message 
left for them) <http://www.bkprecision.com/> 'Global Sales' arm, 
<http://www.bkmanuals.com/>, who'll sell me a 15-page Instruction Manual 
for $15, and a 4-page Parts/Schematic/Calibrate for $10.  (Wouldn't you 
want both?)

Anybody know where I can find even just a schematic for this little beastie?

I did get both for a B&K 277 in the same estate sale, expect he had the 
same trouble.  If anybody needs a scan of this, I'll upload one to BAMA.

Thanks for any light!  73, Phil WA6DZS (out looking for my old Eico 221 
VTVM...)
