Beginning the journey of restoring my 40-180 which was given to me by my grandparents years ago. As many know, the alignment procedure references the infamous loktal adapter that allows you to easily connect a VTVM for the procedure. I did notice instructions also mention you can connect the VTVM to the plate and socket (assuming ground) pins of one of the 41 tubes. Just curious if anyone had completed the procedure using this method? Also curious it it would also be feasible to just connect a VTVM across the voice coil? I’m not close to being ready to align the set yet, but thought I’d ask the question as I’ve read about a lot of different approaches from connecting leads to the appropriate pins of the 7C6 to simply “listening” for the best tone level from the signal generator.

Thanks!
