The alignment is done. It works pretty well with a crappy indoor antenna, I can get WCBS in New York, WOR in New York, WLS in Nashville, and WLW in Cincinnati, and stations all across the dial on AM, as well as a lot on short wave so I figure it will do really well with my outdoor antenna. I got one of the cones for the speaker I ordered, but it is a little too deep. I guess I'll have to wait to see if the other one I ordered is a better fit. If worse comes to worse, I know how to modify them so they will fit, but I'd rather not do that unless I absolutely have to. I am still waiting for my dials to come in. Yes, I said dials. I have the one I ordered from Radio Daze on order, but have not heard that it has been shipped. They did ship my decals today though, so I should be able to put them on the cabinet, and finish that soon. I also used Ron's tip about dials on eBay, and ordered one for my T8-18 which I found. I will have to drill and trim it, but if it gets here quickly, what the heck. Even with the shipping it was a lot less than the one from RD.
