Here you go!

So true. I've spent a good part of yesterday digging into the mess in there. I put a sheet of paper between the messiness and the PCB - I hope I managed to protect the electronics.
Rax:
Finished project (the batteries part, that is).

Keithley 1554 PSU schematic as requested. Hope this is what you need.

My mains PSU arrived with a dud transformer. After a bit of trepidation I replaced it with a cheap transformer without the nice screening & was surprised that it was stable down to the microvolt ranges.

Cheers

EC8010:
I note that guenthert mentioned that null meters have a high impedance to ground and your power supply diagram shows a mains transformer having E/S screens around both primary and secondary. That typically reduces CPS to <5fF. The significance being that it keeps that high impedance high to mains frequency and harmonics. An off-the-shelf transformer will be >20pF. For sensitive work, you'll want to use battery power. It would be interesting to measure CPS on that dud transformer.
