Today I went through the entire AM and SW alignment and I think they are pretty close to spot on. I also set the pushbuttons. I don't get anything on shortwave. It looks like it requires a different antenna that would connect on the two pins of the FM antenna connector that are empty on mine. Does that sound right? On my connector in the cabinet there are two wires on pins 3 and 4 that are stapled around the perimeter of the cabinet, but pins 1 & 2 are empty.
The FM alignment is another story. The procedure says to adjust the input for a 10 volt reading across C12 in this schematic (it's connected to pin 6 of the 7X7)
I only get 200mV - 300mV, negative, with the input adjusted for a fairly loud signal from the speaker. I looked at it with the scope and it's DC. Does this mean anything to the experts?
Thanks,
Rich

The cutout is for the speaker. Here's a photo from a different set.
