42-380 alignment
#1

Ok I'm having so much trouble here. It's my first radio and alignment job. I have a Heathkit V-7 vtvm and a little cheap $40 signal generator I got off of ebay. The signal generator is not that great but it does put out a signal. I have the generator leads hooked up exactly where it says. The alignment instructions say to put the positive lead (which i believe is red) to ground and place ground to anywhere an AVC can be obtained. I've been looking for the output of the AM detector but can't seem to locate it. I've been putting the vtvm lead on pin 3 of the 7C6 tube. I can get a voltage there but it doesn't move when I turn the slugs. Please help!
