Have just finished the alignment and shot a short video of the radio receiving with a short 7-ft wire in the basement of my house.
The reception is fine.
The radio was aligned previously and was reasonably close to being aligned. I followed the instruction for initial setting of the pointer, which has to be 1/16" below the three-line frame top, and this is what II had to compensate (mostly) when adjusting the padders: the needle was previously set exactly at the lower end of the dial.

This is the link to the video of it receiving.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
