I have never seen any schematics for these beasts, but they had 8 (or more likely also a 9th for the feed hole) trimmer capacitors very close to the read head. My guess is that some kind of bridge construction was used, with the actual sensor and the trimmer capacitor at opposite side of a bridge circuit.
