Alignment help needed
#1

I am a newbie to the hobby and I have sucessfully recapped a pair of 51-1733 chassis by replacing all the paper and electolytic capacitors and the radios play on both AM and FM but the dial pointers are off on both sets and performance probably could be improved with an alignment. My next project will be a working 41-315 that already had its electrolytics done and I will do the paper caps next, ditto for the dial pointer on that set. does anyone know if there is a place where I can take these 3 chassis to just do an alignment? Ron, do you offer alignment only services? I am in central North Carolina.
