Ok thanks! I feel like I have the correct grasp on everything and appreciate the answer even if Yall probably have repeated them several times.
Yes I originally asked about the conversion and had it turned around from what I was reading earlier on which system to switch to if had problems with the voltage side of things
I probably should have started a new post or message with my new questions but continued here on this original thread or post whatever there called.
For the issue at hand the generator Volts nor Frequency fluctuates or jumps around. The generator works on 50hz and runs perfect running smoothly and produces electricity. I just can not get it to switch to 60hz. I have checked S12 and the components such as r19 and all seem to be fine. I have checked A5 and when the S12 is switched to 60hz it gives 20.1v to the #1 terminal on wire 154a which is on the switch of S12 my question is if there is not truly 24+v will it not allow the switch or A5 to work properly because strangely enough if I check A5 #1 with my multi meter when switch is in 60hz it runs the rpm up on generator and the hz go to 60 if I take my meter of it immediately goes back to 50hz with the rpm moving. I know that if you switch the S12 when the machine is running bad things can happen so trying to figure out if A5 is bad or just doesn’t have the correct amount of DC to it to switch it for 50 to 60 without it running. When the gen is running there is 24+v on terminal #1 on A5 but not when not running.
I’m trying to reread everything and see if I can find a scenario like this but haven’t found anything yet.
I sent a picture earlier of my TM making sure I’m digging in the right ones

@Capt.Moondog
Ok, understood - it is easy to miscommunicate in these threads. Thanks for clarifying this.
Next questions:
1)
have you tried to adjust R2 which is the Rheostat “Frequency “ on your front panel with S12 set to 60Hz?
2)
Does the Frequency / rpm change when S12 is set to 50Hz and you turn R2?
3)
If you can adjust the frequency / rpm by turning R2, what adjustment range do you have
in example:
S12 set to 50HZ
Adjustment range from 45Hz to 55Hz
as example
Thanks
