42-761EZ Chassis Restoration
#57

Now, the latest:

I came home from work and went through the alignment procedure again.

AM is now working mostly quite well, but it's a bit wonky - if you tune from the low end of the band up, it starts making weird noises about 900 kc, as if it were breaking into oscillation. It does not do this when tuning from the top of the band down to the bottom.

31M still has an issue with the oscillator trimmer - 9.9 is coming in at 9.4, and if I try to adjust it to move the frequency up on the dial, it stops oscillating.
25M is dead - won't even respond to the signal generator.
19M, 16M and 13M aligned up well and seem to be working now. I picked up WWV at 15 mc on the 19M band just before 5 pm EST following the re-alignment.

Codefox, that isn't a bad idea. I don't have a floodlight, though - perhaps a hair dryer?
