38-10 Won't Align Properly
#1

I did a complete overhaul on my 38-10 and it works great except the stations don't align with the dial face. Local station 1260 comes in at 1700 on the dial. All stations that I receive are offset by this amount. I performed a good alignment and everything reacted as it should and the set works great. I set the tuning condenser fully meshed and align the "Glowing Beam Indicator" with the index marks as shown on my paperwork, perform my alignment, but everything is still offset.

Haven't had this happen before and I don't really know what to do. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Johnny
