These old Br|+el & Kj|ar 2107 units are incredible pieces of analog engineering, but they definitely get finicky with age. If your frequency response or filter sweeps are tracking inconsistently, it's usually down to dried-out electrolytic capacitors in the power supply or dirty contacts on the range switches. Give the mechanical contacts a thorough clean with some DeoxIT before adjusting any internal pots.
If you are trying to verify its filter accuracy and don't have a second calibrated hardware analyzer handy, it can be helpful to cross-reference your sweep measurements digitally. You can look at a modern <ahref="
