Alignment Procedure for 40-180

I'm getting ready to restore a 40-180 that's been in the family since it was purchased. The cabinet is in good shape but I may refresh the labels.

The unit is functional but only picks up one or two stations. The audio quality is beautiful on what it does receive though. I replaced the AC cord a few years ago and a few internal wires that were badly cracked but now is the time to finish the job so to speak.

I'll be ordering new tubes next week as well as recapping and will be replacing the deteriorated buttons. But I can't seem to find the alignment procedure for this particular unit.
