I did some reading on the service tips, and one thing it talked about was realignment if the shadow meter is not responsive. I don't have the equipment to do one properly, but I tuned into a strong station at 1400k and adjusted the IF cans. Very, very little adjustment. The shadow meter responsiveness improved. I also did this at about 530k. The tuned voltage is now about 4.2v and the untuned voltage is about 9.0 volts.
