Well boys and girls, I am crying "Uncle" on this one.... I have tried the Isopropyl Alchohol spray on both the gang and the mica. No difference. I still have stations at the wrong parts of the dial.

I am sending this away to hopefully have it re-aligned and/or cleaned / fixed (Radiotiques). I have had good luck with this vendor. My backup plan if I have screwed this up royally and it cannot be fixed, is to put the chassis of a 47-204 into the 42-PT95 as I believe they are basically the same.

Expensive lesson learned, but you can't recognize your successes until you have had some failures.....
