Hi Ron,

Thank you for your answers. Very useful.
I have a generator, which can fully control its output in a really broad range - value, frequency, depth of modulation etc.
I do have a scope, and digital multimeter, but not an old analogue meter.

But still I have my doubts if I should mess with the receiver at all. It works fine, I can receive more stations, than any of other radios I have, all controls work - bass, trebble, "magnetic tuning"... I was just thinking - "may be it can wotk even better, when aligned?" There are no traces of any repair, nothing. What would you advise? This is 72 years old piece of equipment and even if all resitors, caps etc in the receiver are within the tolerance values, may be aligning can still improve it?

Leonid
