Need to try to do an alignment to get radio recenter from crappy clarifier mod
found some info but not where test point locations are any help would be awesome.
 

Not sure where I came across this. It is marked "PC409" but check it out before the "tweaking" begins.

The counter wont lock due to VERY low signal levels usualy associated with ic chips. Also circuit loading may be an issue from your probes. You are gonna need a signal amplifier inline to boost that signal so the counter will lock. Also possibly a cap inline with the probes to prevent any circuit loading effects.
