Success! I performed the dial alignment per the 38-116 instructions, then carefully performed a realignment and the dial is now exactly on stations at both the high and low ends of the broadcast band. I also registered higher peaks on the other 4 bands.
It must be that the initial inaccuracy at the low part of the band could be trimmed, but at the higher end there was not enough range in the compensators to tune (probably because of the logarithmic scale). Didn’t take a huge movement of the dial to the condenser to correct it.
Thanks to all for the input and suggestions, very much appreciated!
