Check to see that the voltage on the pot wiper is varying. I don't remember the values, but as I recall there is a series resistor to convert it to a current source. I'm assuming that you have good carrier suppression in SSB?

OK Garey the ground is there. The pots both check about 520K ohms across the full windings and checking at the center terminal, the back pot checks 0-520K ohms. The front pot nearest the panel checks 0-15K ohms across the full range. I must have a problem somewhere else. Terry, W8NJR In a message dated 4/4/2008 11:11:24 A.M.

    Terry -

    On CW the GAIN control varies a DC bias on the Balanced Modulator
    diodes
    to "unbalance" them.  Perhaps that section of the GAIN control has
    lost
    it's ground.  That section isn't used for any other function.
