I finally got the courage to to work on this again, and write in. I bet I am not the 1st that has made this mistake and cost a lot of time, to the point of frustration. Anyhows, I retouched the alignment and brought things in pretty good. It picks up across the dial with only a short clip lead. The #4 condensor adj is still pretty touchy. The other two on the tuner were way out, so I brought them back in. It does seem to work pretty good now.
Got to neat up stuff and finish details. I'll be glad to wrap this one up.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
