Mike is right - not every 118 is going to be the same, nor every 6A7 tube, nor has every 118 oscillator coil aged quite the same...
Now as to the alignment. If you can't peak the high end at 1500 kc then it's time to get radical. Turn the low frequency padder enough to make the 1500 kc signal come in above 1520 kc on the dial. Then start the alignment procedure as I outlined in post #10 above. It should prove helpful unless you have a serious problem in there somewhere. Before suspecting such, though, I strongly suggest trying the radical readjustment followed by a proper alignment.
