Update to: Schematics wanted for Hale Sight-O-Tuner

[John Ross]

Actually, I think the SOT that had the 6V battery, was a modification, made
by Tuners Supply.
I think there was a legal case between, Inventronics and Tuners Supply,
which died when Tuners Supply, went under.
I started out with a SOT, that had two 9V batteries, and I have upgraded a
couple of times. I now have the SATlll, and am well satisfied, and never
regretted, the upgrading. The SATlll, does all, I require,
in fact, I do not utilize half of it's potential.
However, if I was younger, I would be tempted to try the Verituner.
