I've rarely had a tube AM-FM radio that truely lined up on the FM band. If they work well and can get the full range of stations, I just live with it myself. I've had a few that were very close, only to have them go out of alignment by simply replacing a weak 12AT7 with a new one. Icon_sad I am wondering if any tube sets were really dead on alignment with the dial on FM? It seems the advent of solid state FM tuning made that easier to attain and keep up.
No matter where you go, there you are.
