I just ran through the alignment procedure and edited my comments appropriately in my previous post above.

Chuck, the 7J7 det-osc tube I put in the radio is NOS, the 7J7E that was in the set tested very weak. I think I may have another, and could try another...

I have not tried cleaning the band switch, and yes, I should do so.

There is a lot of rust on top of the chassis. Could be mouse urine? Maybe many/most of the trimmers, most of which are on top of the chassis, could have suffered damage as a result? If so...this could become a shelf queen upon which I wasted a lot of time. Parts for these babies are near-impossible to find, as the sets themselves are quite rare in this country.
