mikethedruid, your 48-482s are really nice. I thought I would ask you about alignment of my 48-1270 since they are pretty much same chassis (as you pointed out in our posts a while back). I got pretty good results with AM and SW alignment and now I'm finally motivated to do the FM. In the FM procedure it calls for inserting "a length of wire or flattened solder between the ceramic form and the edge of the trimmer plate." I understand the goal is to reach the top of the C303D padder. I've never opened up an IF can so I'm not sure exactly where to start inserting the wire or how far I need to push it in. There is a little slot next to the C303D trimmer screw. Is this where the wire should be inserted? About how far? Also the FM procedure is long and tedious - are there some shortcuts I should know about lol?
