Modified Circuit: Original Circuit:

MAX406 Replaced Obsolete uA776 Instead of using a 2uA FSD meter as advertised
Null Potentiometer connection different Sanwa used a 50uA meter driven by
Bias current programming resistor R7 not required a low standby current Op-Amp uA776
Pin 8 bandwidth control left open BT2 and BT4 were soldered permanently onto a PCB
BT1 and BT3 now accessible and replaceable PCB was mounted onto the meter housing
2 Adjust R1 for meter zero Meter malfunction when batteries exhausted 2
Adjust R3 for FSD calibration Due to undocumented presense of batteries
