Hi Matt,
Were you using a modern digital meter to take your measurments? The readings given in the trader sheets are measured on an AVO 8. The readings on the B36 maybe inconsistant since there is a large AC signal present which will be interpreted differently by different meters. An AVO might even stop the oscillator from running. I was not sure by the way which half of the B36 you were measuring...
However the voltage on V7 should be consistant with the readings from the trader sheet, so something is not right there.

Cheers
Andy
