Again, thanks for all the help! I have not adjusted anything yet. I do have a signal generator (Precision E200C) and a VTVM (Heathkit V-7A), but I have never checked or performed an alignment before. I had to order test leads for both pieces of test equipment. when I get to that I'm sure I will have more questions.

I am concerned about the heat generated by resistors #11 and #9. The Spec sheet I have, Riders 3-25 shows that resistor #11 (16k) should be rated at 5 watts. In the link earlier Ron Ramirez's site recommended a 3 Watt. Am I over thinking the heat generated? I'm going to try an actual 3w, 16k and not the parallel setup (see earlier post) I had to see if there is a difference. Is the extra heat on #9 due to the increased resistance? That resistor is rated at 1 watt.

I believe I have been bitten by the bug. I just acquired a model 84, cosmetically in good condition. Next after this one is complete.
