Thanks for the advice, would you consider the alignment of a radio a necessary step in restoring it? I am repalcing all the caps, one tube, and the rest of it seems in pretty good shape. I refinished the cabinet, repaired the speaker and replacing the grill cloth. Should I leave well enough alone or try aligning it to get better reception. At present it seems to tune quite a few stations, but it drifts quite readily once a station is tuned in. I tried reading the manual to the signal generator a Military UA 25, but I don't comprehend how to use it to align a radio. You mentioned the IF stages and antenna trimmers, perhaps I should only adjust the antenna trimmer and leave the IF's alone. About the face dial, I wish I knew then what you told me today, I partially ruined the dial by trying to clean it. Whats your thoughts on finishing the restoration of the radio?
