Hi Gary,
Great minds must think alike! I finally noticed a note in one of the schematics that the alignment procedure is the same as model 41-285. I found it in the 1941 RMS yearbook. Thanks for the information! This procedure looks straight forward and a bit simpler and more complete than the one I had been looking at. That one required a loctal adapter, which I'm guessing allowed access to the tube pins. This procedure just requires a loop of several turns of wire connected to the signal generator for RF padders and a .1 mfd capacitor connected to the internal loop antenna for IF padders.
On another note, I did try the push buttons. I was surprised to find that 4 of them actually were tuned to local stations even though they used to be NYC stations. The push button connections really do need a good cleaning.
