While aligning this radio the IF is fine, the 1400KHz frequency is fine but the 580 kHz cannot be adjusted. I hear the signal in the full range of the tuner. Adjusting the compensator has no effect at all I disconnected the compensator for the 580 kHz adjustment and checked it with a meter and a digital cap checker. It is not shorted, and it can adjust between 350pf-900pf. Does anyone know what the range of this compensator (number 19 on the schematic part number 31-6298) should read?
