OK - alignment done! Touchy, touchy, touchy! I have done alignments on some ham gear before, w/ slug-tuned IF xfrmrs. They're much more forgiving. Anyway, AM and SW are just fine, but the closest I can get FM is about 1 mhz away from correct dial reading, but no big deal. Surely it's some out-of-value component, but I decided to pass - they're like sardines in that sub-chassis, where I assume most of the FM circuitry is. Returned it to its owner this morning, and can resume sleeping in bed again! Thanks for the help,
