Yes you must be right! there is a random hole in the back! But does it not connect at all to the circuit? or does it just measure the speakers levels separately? Also, the metre has 5 band settings but on the dial it says 1+2 and 1+3 for more band settings.... what does that mean? I wish I had a manual!

I actually found a schematic that I am yet to work out if it is exactly the same. I did briefly look and some bits were confusing. Luckily, the person who drew this diagram up told me what voltages I should expect on the valves... but not all the cap and resistor ratings... which is a bit unfortunate. Ig does specify the tubes, which I can confirm are correct. I actually couldn't locate the 1uf cap (red one) that they used on the diagram, but I suppose this could be a revised model or old one. The image of the generator was identical to this.
