I spent some time over the past few days working to align my 38-116. The IFs needed little to no adjustment. I got the dial right on stations at 600 and 640 today, but it got to cold and late to stay in the garage working on it. This model seems to have a high degree of interaction between the 1500 trimmer and the 580 padder, as well as the antenna and RF trimmers. Any hints from those who've worked on one of these? I'm using a signal geneator, frequency counter, and VTVM.
