It's important to do a good job on the IF alignment, being sure that it's at 470kc. It can make a big difference in the overall sensitivity. Good set of hot tubes doesn't hurt either. I've been listening to a 2nd gen 84 over the last few weeks and considering it's a pretty impressive. It's fairly sensitive but the selectivity is not so great.

Glad to help out.
