A long insulated screwdriver. Perhaps a wooden dowel or plastic rod,
probably a quarter inch diameter or less filed to fit the adjustment
slots. Fiberglass rod like used to hold up a flag on a bicycle or as a
garden fence post makes a good insulated screwdriver for alignment. I
have a lathe so I turn the working end down to an appropriate diameter
then grind or file the screwdriver tip to fit the job at hand. It wears,
so I keep the sharp file handy.
I don't have my Corsair II manual handy, but I'd say adjust alternately
for minimum carrier. They probably interact and changing one upsets the
other a bit. Usually one is a pot the other is a variable capacitor.

hi, My corsair II has developed a bit of carrier on ssb.... when I try to
adjust the two side by side potentiometers to null carrier, my hand capacitance
causes carrier to null before I adjust, when I remove my hand, still have some
carrier....
ideas??
also, do I adjust the two at same time/direction or each individually???

tnx for the bandwidth.
