Thank you again for the information. As to adjusting the cans, 34,31 and 29, do you use a plastic or metal screw driver due to capacitance? On 29 there is both A and B do you adjust both or one and in which order? I have never tuned a radio so in adjust the cans do you turn the screws until the signal sounds the best or do you turn the adjustments in only one direction. I copied Elements "Alignment" chapter and will read same. Thank you in advance for your answers.
