I have a Philco 49-905 that I just finished that has much better FM than my 48-482 so I guess I do have some issues. I'll check the resistors first. One issue I have is that when I tune in an FM station on the 48-482, I can rock the tuner and get the station at 2 places about 1/8 of an inch apart. I was hoping the correct alignment would cure that. One more thing, are these instructions to adjust all IFs or just the detector?
I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Thanks
