[Boatanchors] Looking For a SBE-33 Service Manual

[David C. Hallam]

Does anyone know of the existence of a service manual for the SBE-33 
transceiver?  I have the operating and service manual for mine but 
wonder if there is a specific service manual.  In looking at the SBE 
manuals on BAMA, I see that there are two different manuals for the 
SBE-34.  One is an operating and service manual like that for for the 
SBE-33, but the other is a dedicated service manual with more details on 
alignment procedures and a long list of factory modifications to correct 
specific operating problems.

If a similar manual is available for the SBE-33 is available, I would 
certainly like to get a hold of one.  I know factory mods were made to 
the SBE-33.  The SBE-33 manual on BAMA is for a SF series chassis.  My 
SBE-33 is a series SF-1.   There are some slight changes in alignment 
procedures between the two series as well as some parts changes in the 
schematic.  There is no listing or documentation of these changes.

My SBE-33 is the first rig I purchased after I upgraded to general in 
1965 so I want to keep it top operating condition, sentimental I guess.  
I have been using it on 40M with some intermittent problems but it 
doesn't work at all on 20M.  After I get it operating properly again, I 
am going to add the X-lock frequency control to the VFO.  Also, what 
might be a good frequency readout to add?
