So i may have shot myself in the foot doing a second alignment on this radio..
I had an IF adjustment (2nd IF can) cutting out during adjustment, so..... I powered down and gave it a shot of contact cleaner. Let it dry 30 min, and warmed it up, and tried the loose wire near the 1st IF tube coupling procedure. Although the dropout subsided, i dont think im getting full potential since i sprayed it...
My question is, do the can covers come off pretty easy to inspect the IF adjusters? I see 2 screws on top but i just want to make sure im not gonna drop a nut into the works by removing the top screws.. Any experience with the workings of these cans and adjusters are welcome..![Icon_smile Icon_smile](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
