Philco 48-200 alignment questions
#2

Use an isolation transformer and you could just connect the output of the generator to the ant connection. Set the dial for 550kc. There's enough signal leakage thru the 7A8 that you'll hear it fine. 
As for the adjustments on the tuning cap one is going to set the placement of the stations @ the top end of the dial and the other sets the sensitivity. Both of these you could use local stations the adjust. Or you could use a gimmick cap.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
