I want to correct my mistake in the name of this device. It is a Huntron Tracker. Also, today I found out that it is not necessarily as big of a magic troubleshooting tool as I initially thought. I found out that the expected "footprints" are atered by components in parallel when it comes to resistors, capacitors, inductors etc. So, unless there is some hidden secret in the manual it is still snip-a-lead! I think this device is more suited to semiconductor devices.
