Did more work on the T8-18 today, what little I could anyway. I found a dead spot down near the 600 end of the dial per instructions, and then set about aligning the IF. I was rather surprised to find it was WAY off. I had to loosen the screws on the condensers that show on the bottom of the chassis a couple of turns each to get the set to align at 460KC. Both the IFs are now as close as my ears and my signal generator can get them. Sadly, my frequency counter has been acting crappy lately, I don't know why. Fortunately my old Heathkit signal generator is quite accurate, so I was able to do the alignment. Now I'll have to wait for the dial to arrive before I can go further.
