Thanks, peulanse.

The Mk II. is very similar to the MkIII in your handbook.

The configuration is essentially the same, but with a few component changes in the AC and OHMS sides.

The Mk.II rectifier is a true (4 diode) bridge,
whereas the Mk.III uses 2 diodes + 2 resistors;

The Mk. II has a single-resistor swamp
(as opposed to two resistors and a thermistor).

If you have any detailed questions feel free to PM me,
or if you care to send me your postal address, I'll send a photocopy of the Mk.II schematic.

Happy measuring.
