 Someone with more knowledge/experience than me may know better than to try this and will let everyone know not to, but the second harmonic reading on my 5065A had been gradually decreasing until finally it wouldn't come up at all. After trying the same thing you did(not having the equipment to do the procedure in the manual) I started changing adjustments after first marking their original settings. The second one I tried was the pot(I believe it is R29) near center rear looking from above(with the top cover removed, of course). It's the one(on my 24xx? if I recall correctly, the latest series anyway) with the two white plastic adjustments whowing through a hole about 1/2" diameter. Sorry I can't give exact information, but I'm writing this from memory, as the 5065A is about ten miles away. Anyway, I moved it about an eighth turn at a time and on the third try the second harmonic came up. I set it, as I recall, to about 32 and it's been working fine for the last couple weeks.  As I said, if this shouldn't be done for any reason, hopefully those in the know will let me/us know. John K0GCJ

Welcome to time-nuts and you were indeed lucky to get a 5065.
Lots of possible items.
But the fact that the last line are all 0 may mean its as simple as the
loop selector being open and not closed. Normally the control would tend to
drift all the way over. On reset it goes all the way left and if it doesn't
find the second harmonic it goes all the way to the right. Easy thought at
least.
Beyond that many possibilities for issues. After all they are old.
