[volt-nuts] Anyone have a manual for an Eico 235 VTVM?

A friend asked for my help troubleshooting an Eico 235 VTVM her Elmer 
gave her.  Someone has been messing around inside it, so I don't know 
what is stock and what has been ... um ... improved.  Although it 
uses the traditional (miniature era) 6AL5/12AU7 tube lineup, it does 
not seem to share the schematic of the other Heathkit/Eico VTVMs (at 
least, not after the changes it's been through).  I'd love to help 
her get it going -- it's a nicely built meter and looks like it has 
real potential.  But I do not relish trying to trace out the function 
and range switching without guidance.

So, if anybody has a manual they could scan (or, failing that, a 
schematic), we'd be very grateful.  If you have an original hard copy 
you would sell, even better -- she'll be happy to buy it.  Finally, 
if you have a hard copy but aren't able to scan it and don't want to 
sell it, could we borrow it for a week or less to scan it here?

Please help if you can.

Thanks!

Charles
