> I tested your file locally seems to be working correctly

Apologies if there's some unspoken nuance in this exchange, but by "working correctly" did you just mean that it ran to completion? I don't even recognize some of the unicode characters that it emitted (or maybe you're using some kind of strange font, I guess?)

Don't misunderstand me, a ginormous number of floating point numbers attempting to read that handwriting is already doing better than I can, but I was just trying to understand if you thought that outcome is what was expected

View on HN

It actually did a decent. Perhaps the font is weird? For reference here is the 'ground truth' content, not in markdown:

Page# 8

Log: MA 6100 2.03.15

34 cement emitter resistors - 0.33R 5W 5% measure 0.29R 0.26R

35 replaced R436, R430 emitter resistors on R-chn P.O. brd w/new WW 5W .33R 5% w/ ceramic lead insulators

36 applied de-oxit d100 to speaker outs, card terminals, terminal blocks, output trans jacks

37 replace R-chn drivers and class A BJTs w/ BD139/146, & TIP31AG

38 placed boards back in

39 desoldered grnd lug from volume control

40 contact cleaner, Deoxit D5, faderlube on pots & switches teflon lube on rotor joint

41 cleaned ground lug & resoldered, reattached panel

This is the result. ``` Page 1 of 1 Page # <page_number>8</page_number>

You can paste it in https://markdownlivepreview.com/ and see the extraction. This is using the Colab notebook I have shared before.

Which Unicode characters are you mentioning here?
