Evan -

No WWV here with my indoor antenna, so using an Elecraft XG-1 signal generator on 7.040 MHz. Turned it on for 10 minutes, although I don't think it moves much as the internal dissipation is so low. Then turned on the R-7, cold start, and tuned in the XG-1 for a ~600 Hz tone. Using Spectrogram. It's been running for 20 minutes so far and has smoothly increased a little less than 200 Hz. No sign of leveling off yet.

After an hour, it's stopped. Drifted ~600 Hz from cold start, and the last 15 minutes it's moved 5 Hz. I don't know how to go back on the 'strip chart' without stopping Spectrascope, so can't tell exactly where it 'stopped'. I only have about 15 minutes on-screen, but once I have the file, I can scan through it.

I set the 'range' from about 400 - 1100 Hz on screen.

Fellow Drake Enthusiasts,

The discussion of the VFO stabilizers prompted me to describe what I
have observed about 7 line PTOs over the past 25 years or so.
