As far as using the signal generator is concerned, am I measuring output to the speaker with my VTVM? I have the alignment procedure, but It just states adjust for peak signal, but where? I'm also not 100% sure my SG is working properly either. With it connected to the grid cap of the det-osc tube, SG set at 460kc all I get is a low pitched squeal around the 460kc and 1000kc spots on the tuning dial. Nothing anywhere else.

Set radio dial at 550kc. Set sg dial at 460kc. Adjust #11 and 15 for max sound from spkr. Keep sg signal to a minimum as you adjust 11 and 15 for peak.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
