OK, thanks again for that hint on how to align a radio without an RF signal generator. That should prove quite useful in future radio work. I did notice I was able to improve the sound to a certain optimal attainable volume and sound quality, but it is still far from perfect. I don't know if it partly due to the fact that one of the tuning screws is missing on the tuning condenser or some other reason like faulty resistors. I am going to work on relacing some of the resistors and see if that helps any. Thanks again for your help. Karl
