Hi TV Man,
Would love to have seen the "Parts Chassis". One had a lightning hit, the one you are working on appears to have lung cancer. I think this one smoked 2 packs of Camels per day.
I found the assembly, operating and alignment instructions for the kit version of this set, but it is too big to attach to the post (about 8 MB). Send me a PM w/ your e-mail address and I will e-mail you a copy. However, to get you started, here is the schematic and the complete alignment instructions. No test equipment is needed other than a digital FM radio to confirm frequency of the stations selected during the alignment to "rock in" the tuning dial accuracy.
For most sets, the trimmer caps on the main tuning cap are what are used to rock in the dial accuracy, and on most tuning caps, the frontmost section is the oscillator. Note that on your set the oscillator section does not have a trimmer. On your unit, set the tuner to a station high on the scale and adjust C8 for accuracy. then select a station on the lower end if the dial and use L4 to calibrate. go back and forth between these 2 settings to "rock it in". They likely will then tell you to adjust the RF and mixer trimmers on th cap for max strength. All measurements are made with the tuning eye.
Re the knobs, start with a good Windex bath. Front panel too. I find that to take off tobacco residue very well. However, it does not work well on the person who smoked enough in that room to stain that set as much as it is.
Hope this helps, and works. I own a Dyna PAS-3X (or should I say that my Brother now owns it) and a Mark 4 "monoblock". Dyna makes very good products.
