Actually, I haven't started the alignment yet. Usually, I have to troubleshoot any issues after working under the chassis, but from what I've been reading the past day, as this is a "regenerative" radio, the alignment appears to be connected to the strength of the volume on this set. I don't have a signal generator, but I do have a variable AM transmitter. I think it starts at around 525 kHz. May not be the best option, but I'll see if it helps improve the volume output.

Thanks for the suggestion.
