In fact what I am really after is exactly that... things that people have done to restore/repair/confirm functionality.

Thanks

I've made a range of adaptors for my 45D which plug into the Octal test socket.

The switch settings in the book cover a far more extensive range of valves than the limited number of sockets on the tester are capable of testing. Originally, adaptors were available as an accessory but of course can no longer be found. The thread, which explains how I made the adaptors, with a link to an earlier thread, is here:

Hope that might be of interest Paul.
