Mikethedruid,

Thanks Mike,
To answer to you questions, +455 I get throughout the entire range. There is a pattern.The indicated frequencies on the dial are always less than the station frequency but it is worse at the lower end than at the higher.Of course, I can move the pointer, but it will look pretty odd, as the needle will look at 2 o'clock vs 3 (the right side of the dial) and 8 o'clock at the left vs 9. Bending the plates I simply do not know how, as I've never done it before, unless it is gone just by the seat of your pants. Changing the capacity of the J padder after alignment, as I mentioned before, helps to bring the pointer to where it should be but that works only between 600 and 900, then the discrepancy comes in play again,albeit not as pronounced.
