At the workbench.
One more thing and we can put this topic to rest...
I just completed AM and FM alignment of this TA-600. AM still isn't the greatest but I am in the basement right now, where AM signals typically aren't great anyway.
But FM...wow, what a difference! It is now picking up signals across the band without an antenna!

A word of warning. Avoid the solid state FM multiplex decoder being sold on eBay by a Canadian seller. It does not play nice with the TA-600. Sure, it picks up stereo, but it also produces a very tinny, flat sound with no bass.
