hallicrafters sx-43 NO FM
#1

hi ya fellas.i must admit i dont know much about radios and im stymied.i came across this rather tired set that appears to have been worked on in the sixties and not very well at the time. ive replaced almost every resistor in it and all the wax paper and electro. caps cleaned it up deoxited the switches. it most certainly needs an alignment,but i still get respectable am broadcast and stations on 3,3a.and 4 at night. nothing on band 2 but i dont know if there is anything in this part of the world on that band. but no fm.i do have a signal generator and an o scope that was gifted to me that i play with but i cant really say i know i;m doing with the scope. the generator i'm quite comfortable with.  i did try to perform the 1st alignment step but i found that the if adjustments had NO effect on the the pin 7 voltage of 6al5.all the tubes are new and appear to have the correct voltages on them the only tube i cant get to to read is the the 6ba6. as buggered up as this was i should be pleased i got this far,but unfortunately i'm not built that way. is there anyone game enough to a stab at this?
