Hi Glenn
Thank you for the very useful information about Lunasix.
Anyway Polysix has a different system. It has a build in gray ramp transparent which controls the restistence of the cds below which is in turn compared with a fix resistor value (actually a small potentiometer). The comparator is transistorized with own pots. So there have to be just 2 resitors, one for each range.
The comparator design makes the whole thing voltage independant, so there is no problem with wrong or weak batteries.
This is quite different from Lunasix where us have an analog meter. Polysix is (rather) digital, it tells you the right value on the dial when both lamps light. So the gradient of the curve makes no sense to adjust, except for smoothness of transition of the 2 lights.
When I find make some experiments soon and when I find out more I will post it here
