just to clarify, when you say the throttle condensor is #17, you're referring to the schematics in this thread and the part labeled #17, correct? Is the throttle condensor a different name for the trimming cap that you mentioned? 

Sorry for the ignorant question. Radio repair is new to me.

I did watch last night the three videos of "Buzz" restoring an old 84. From watching that video I saw that there are two adjusting screws on the back of the chassis that can be used to do the alignment. I'll research that topic and look at doing that. On that video, there was also an antenna adjusting screw near the tuner knob. I'll pull the chassis out and see if my unit has that adjusting screw too, although I'm not sure what it means to adjust the antenna, so I'll have to research that too if my chassis has that piece.

Thanks again.
