Levell TM1 transistor tester - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

More tidying up and came across a manual for the Levell TM1 transistor tester.

Doesn't seem to be around so made a copy. My scanner no longer works, too old for the software or something, so photographed it and converted to pdf using the print function.

Now have 12 pages, each about 5.5MB.

I can't see how to merge them into one file, or work out how to do a size reduction.

Any offers?

I will need an email address by pm so I can send the pdf files.

Might be worth saving them on BAMA or somewhere?

PDFSAM will let you merge them into one file.

There's a thread on here somewhere with various other options.

As for size reduction, what format did you convert from to PDF?

If you used JPG, you may get a better size by converting those first to TIFF or PNG and then to PDF.

Delays delays, apologies.

What I hadn't realised was that I had a TM12 transistor tester, not a TM1, and another one by Advance that I thought was the TM1.

Had an offer from John to scan the TM1, which seems the easiest option. PM sent.

Has anyone got page 6 for the TM12 please? I downloaded a copy from an old thread here but got two page 3's.

Here's the scan. Pity there's no parts list!

Paper copy is ready to post back.
