R E M A R K S :         See in "FAQs" a picture of this BATTERY TYPE ...
========================================================================
The  named  » ECT-TGL 7487 «  Batteries  are   3 x 1.5 Volt  =  4.5 Volt
made  of   H A L F S   of  3 Volt Batteries,  eg.  » VARTA DUPLEX 3010 «

RESISTANCES  can be measured either by using the Zero-Instrument or with
the build-in  transistorized  Square-Generator ( 50 mV[pp] / 1 kHz ) and
headphones. INDUCTIVITIES & CAPACITIES have to be use the tone-generator
with  a  KNOWN (!) INDUCTIVITY ( LN )  or  a  KNOWN (!) CAPACITY ( CN ).
See INSTRUCTION above:   LX = 1/3 * LN * SCALE  ;    CX = 3 * CN * SCALE

REMARKS  to   R E S T O R A T I O N :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The instrument came  with cut wires inside  and the cracked  "RED LEVER"
(= holding the central switch axle ).  To have access  to the  soldering
side of the print-board, not only the board-screws  also the axle has to
be freed inside by removing its nuts & clips. After electrical repairing
the damaged RED LEVER got a new HOME-MADE CENTER-PART out of brass-sheet
glued with the LEVER-ENDS ( see above ).
