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 :-)
