I had to give up on this beast for awhile. I've done some more checking, Crystal is good and operating, +5 volts is up and running and getting to the micro. I've checked all diodes and all of the flame proof resistors. I looked at the modification that Bob sent but none of the parts are the same in this set. I also noticed that someone said they had uploaded a schematic for a similar set to the members area. I went to Tech Assist web site but didn't find an area for things that had been uploaded. This thing has really got me stumped. Any suggestions before I use the sledge hammer to do a precision alignment on it? Frequency Standards & Services 2727 E.
