Hello
I want to let exray know that web site he posted is great. I was able to print a complete manual for my EICO324. It has calibration instructions. So I am going to give that a try. It should not be to bad because, as I said it sounded like it was close. I paid a guy from town, to do the alignment on my 40-190. But I want to continue doing this, so thats why I decided to get some equipment. The first thing I'll try is to change a couple of the presets on the 40-190. I have a 1947 Crosley floor model that is ready for alignment. So I am going to attempt it. Hope it isn't over my head because it has AM,FM and SW. The one I am working on now is a 1934 Crosley Tombstone that I got 40 years ago from my grandma. I have it totally stripped down, but using the help from this Phorum I think I can get it back together.
Once again Thanks for the help.
Later
Bob
