[Boatanchors] SBE-33 Alignment

Are there any SBE-33 knowledgeable people on this reflector?  I have 
posted to the SBE group but it seems that it takes a couple of days 
before my messages are posted to the group.

I am stumped on the first step of the SBE-33 alignment procedure, 
carrier oscillator alignment.  I am supposed to measure the voltage on 
the center arm of the carrier oscillator pot and adjust T4 for a 
maximum.  I get no voltage reading on the center arm of the carrier 
balance pot even with adjustment of T4.  I assume the carrier oscillator 
is working because the set will receive, and I can peak noise by 
adjustment of T4.

I suppose the next thing to do is to put the scope on the oscillator.

What could be the reason(s) for no voltage readings.

If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
