I found a suitable Hex tool to adjust the IF's and other trimmers and proceeded to do a full alignment as per the service sheets. All I can say is that the settings were way off.. The radio now booms in loud and clear with only a short aerial of a few feet. The shadow meter also worked better after the full alignment. Another project completed and satisfied owner.
