The seller had recapped the radio. Then he replaced a few resistors and the 7c6 tube with a NOS replacement. Then he performed an alignment. But even though he did a great job packaging it for transit, there's always the possibility it was bounced around enough to knock something out of whack. Much to his credit, he offered to either give me a full refund, including shipping, if I were to return it, or he would go over it and make any additional repairs if needed at no charge and again, a full shipping refund. I've got to believe he truly wants to make things right. After all, he is a top-rated seller on eBay and it is in his best interest to maintain his perfect score.
