More testing and fiddling. After playing with this radio some more, I realized that the magic eye does NOT work nearly as well with it wired as the layout shows, it works best wired as the schematic shows, much more sensitive, so I re-wired it again, back to how the schematic shows, and now the magic eye seems to be working more sensitively. Today I put the old dial back on the radio and began to do the alignment. I set the shortwave bands as per the instruction, and also set the broadcast band per the instructions. The magic eye is actually quite a help with this, it is a good way to double check my ears. Now it is set, with frequencies matching the dial. Tonight it will be interesting to see what I can receive.
