Great suggestion... I will check the historical screw mark on the shaft against where I have it sitting now and have a bit of a play with that and report back.

Currently the dial is accurate - set initially using the sig gen and then tweaked using known stations at the top and bottom of the dial. Its pretty bang on through the range at the stations I listen to.

The IF frequency is set pretty accurately I think... I use my digital scope to check the frequency of the sig gen (a leader LSG-200). I generally leave this connected throughout the alignment to check the frequency. Its a bit dodgy on higher ranges (I think thats the sig gens fault, not the scopes) but seems fairly accurate and stable at 460kHz.

Cheers

Steve

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
