Hi guys-
I recently acquired a Heathkit model IT-17 tester. I have pretty much figured it out, but there is a switch on the left side that has one position for "leakage" and another for "short" it doesn't seem to have any effect when I test the tubes, and I can't find a manual online anywhere. Anyone have an idea what this switch is used for? The rest of the tester is pretty self explanatory.
Thanks!
Paul
