Jerry, manual is available at http://tentec.com/files/Corsair%20Manual.pdf
Understood about wanting to stick with the PTO for the cleanest
possible signal. If you find a replacement for the display, please
post the info to the list.
One thing that appeals to me about the PTO option is getting a
smoother, weightier tuning action with variable tuning rate. I wish I
could install my hefty Omni 6 tuning knob on my Corsair, but the shaft
diameters are different.
