I have a Lionel ZW-C transformer that I was planning to use for lighting power. I get no voltage out of any of the channels. I have two 180w bricks that are putting out 18.3 volts each, so they are good.

The handle gears were slipping so I set the handle gears to off and reset the pot gears to the off position. Still no output voltage. I tried resetting the pots back down to zero volts by holding the reset button in then powering up the "A" brick. When I do this the green light comes on then the red light comes on but it does not flash 5 times.

Anything else I'm missing before I assume the unit is dead?

Hello Joe,

You have to unplug the  command base first prior to holding the button and turning on the brick. Keep the button in during this process.. See if that makes a difference.  I have two ZW C's and have had to reset occasionally. I seem to recall an emphasis on using the reset tool provided or something plastic only, no metal.
