38-690 Code 125
#18

Well, it gets weirder- I checked the accuracy of my signal generator against a known good digital tuner at 1000kc.  I went through the alignment with no difficulty, wasn’t too far off, carefully lining up the dial indicator to the set points (which were very close to the signal generator dial, checked by rocking both signal generator and tuner).  Reception seems good, as I was able to pick up stations 800 miles away last night, and magnetic tuning seems to work on 2 stations. Dial still off by 40kc; condenser trimmers (22A and 22B) are about at max in.
