Yes, included in my standard info packets (when applicable) are the factory
specified push button alignment instructions, like Ron said.

Info also has the dial cord stringing diagram, which may be your problem.
Your set, if worked on before, could be strung incorrectly.

BTW, your set happens to have TWO dial cords; one from knob to tuning gang pulley center
and the other from the gang pulley to the dial pointer and pulleys.
