I am helping a friend with his Philco 41-221. It has been recapped by a previous repairman. The radio frequency on the dial is way off. Where is the adjustment for changing the oscillator frequency so that it agrees with the dial pointer.

Also, at the very high end of the dial there is oscillation or motorgboating. The electrolytic capacitors and paper capacitors have been changed.

Thank you for your suggestions.
