That was most educational. Those fellows knew what they were looking for and how to fix it. Some of the explanations were a bit confusing. I had never seen the inside of an IF can before. A little confused about the mica caps. They look like small pieces of plastic. Where would you get something like that to replace the bad ones? I suppose if you knew the values as in Nash's case, you could just wiring in a cap of the proper values across pin 2 and 3 of the IF.

As for the proper alignment tool, I ordered a set that includes the "Zenith alignment tool" hoping it will work.
