I did the alignment on the set, but had some trouble with the one of the tuner trimmers. As a result, the stations at the higher end of the band are received well, but not at the right place, and I think the highest frequencies are missing altogether. Here are the trimmers before and after cleaning, and the condition of the mica on the suspect trimmer.

I was wondering if I could use the mica from a model 46-250 Transitone. It’s not the right shape, but it fits and covers all of the area of the round dielectric. The screw from the older model also fits, and it would be much easier to do the adjustments because it has an actual slot.

What do you think; is it worth trying the older dielectric and screw?
