Ed,

To do PTO adjustments, you can just hang the PTO out of the receiver bottom. 
Turn the receiver up on one end. Use the mini BNC to BNC connector to get the 
PTO output coupled into the frequency counter.

Use the Odem coupler on the PTO shaft for a knob. A simple pencil mark on the 
PTO and frame let you align the shaft rotation. Once around is 100 KC ten 
times and you get the meg. We did it on the bench that way back when and got very 
close. (within a few cycles). No real jigs or setup is really required. 
Mostly you just need the time to slowly go through the Cosmos adjustment points and 
do the service work.
