Yes, I know.

Did an alignment. It's still not right. One problem is the plastic dial face is warped all over so tuning will be challenging. I remember seeing a post on this forum about flattening the dial.

There is a spot on the dial where there is a loud pop or crackle. It's the same spot for both AM and SW. Is that caused by the plates shorting against each other on the tuning capacitor?
