I accidentally got the #20 caps wired correctly. I'll get harder next time.

I started the alignment and the IF alignment was going well (although I used a dmm connected to the voice coil vice a VTVM across the plate and cathode of the 6f6. I did have a vtvm connected to the plate/cathode but its was 240v vice less than 30v as the instructions indicated. The DMM level varied with the adjustments to IF PRi/SEC 11 and 15. The VTVM never changed. I followed the instructions for the IF alignment and the adjustments went well until the last adjustment which was to turn the sensitivity cap until a hiss is heard. I don't get the hiss. The instructions are clear and easy to follow but I get no hiss.
I decided to move to the RF section and the instructions are confusing me. I tried and failed to translate the instructions to actions that resulted in the expected results.I watched a video of a 84 alignment and it follows different instructions, I think. I need to rewatch it.
