Seems fitting that "Mickey Mouse" would be on the pamphlet, as most here know, since the set has many high freq circuits in it, it has many PF capacitors, or as they were called back then, MMF, and the way our High School electronics class teacher ( who was retired Air Force Tech ), would call them and taught us "MickeyMicroFarad" because, anything that had to use caps that small was obviously a "Mickey Mouse" unit!
Just one of the many useless things taught in the class that you never forget, like the resistor color code mnemonic, ( VERY NON PC, AND CAN'T BE REPEATED OUT LOUD! :p )
or how to do a "12th level adjustment "
if several hours debugging and trying to fault track fails, take unit, hold 12 inches above work surface, drop it, RETEST, if pass, then send unit back to field, unit repaired! if still fails, toss it in trash, order a new one!
