Hi, does this look like someone way over adjusted the slug on this 1st IF? I really dont know much about the slug adjustments being the rookie I am, but I have a little bit of experience with trimmer adjustments. This thing looks like its out about 1/2 inch past the can. This is the IF with the big mystery cap nobody on the other forum I visit was ever able to identify because of Philcos proprietary marking systems. I was thinking maybe that cap is bad and caused the person doing an alignment to way over compensate?
