Greetings all, I have a quick(?) question regarding a Philco G-826 All-American 5 I'm about to restore. While cleaning the chassis a bit I noticed that the 2 trimmer cans at the IF stage are sealed on the bottom. I'm sure this was by design from the factory but I'm puzzled why the alignment instructions call for lower adjustments (as you would think) when they were clearly intended not to be.

The question is, are these meant to only be adjusted at the tops? Also, I understand there are multiple schematics for this radio out there, so I'm not entirely sure I have the latest one which could possibly include updated alignment instructions that address this. Any feedback is appreciated.

I'm attaching a photo just for good measure.
