    The original circuit used an obsolete uA776 op-amp and a 2uA full-scale deflection meter. The modified circuit replaces the uA776 with a MAX406 op-amp and uses a 50uA meter instead. Other changes include making the bias current programming resistor and battery terminals accessible, and replacing permanently soldered batteries with replaceable ones. These changes updated the circuit and addressed issues like meter malfunction when batteries were drained.

    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
    User has little idea about the cause of failure
