Ok this is from *deep* memory. I'm fairly sure that the right-left is
some sort of pot. I too remember all sorts of hassles setting up the
auto-clone on a 741... I vaguely recall having similar problems with
the waste collector. Rude question.. is the auto-clone hooked into the
sort module correctly ? ISTR that you only hook it up to one channel,
and that there were a few other vagaries associated with the connection.

My machine had a much higher potential at the left charging
plate than the right, so as you say it might be worth swapping the leads
around.

Sorry Steve the memory is worse than i thought, I'll have to try to find
my old manuals and have a look thru them to be any real help.

Be assured the auto-clone does work, in typical coulter fashion :-)
