The truth is, I did not align it. The way it performs I don't really think it is misaligned.All frequencies on the dial were right where they should be so I thought, given the fact my generator is not really calibrated, I might not be doing the radio any favour by aligning it.
Most of my radios I did align but not this one. Now, I haver already forgot how it looks but I kinda doubt the cover on or off makes any difference.
Then again, if possible it is always better to align a device when it is fully assembled, thus eliminating any guesses as to whether it affects anything.
