well,, i totally got lost on the step 2 and 3 of the AM alignment only because the column called "purpose" assumed that a qualified trained tech had the common sense to interpret the information.

that being said, i finagled the FM back into  working order but did not proceed to the FM alignment at all because things were just too darn "good nuf" for me.  

the FM slugs just simply spin by finger to adjust on that skinny threaded wire.

here's a note worthy milestone though,  got sent a legible schematic today and man am i pleased!
