Model 80 Compact alignment
#16

Definition of ham fisted: clumsy, awkward, inept.

For what it's worth, I recall having an 80 Jr. on my bench once that refused to work correctly until I substituted another IF transformer from either an 80 or 84 (don't remember which one right now). The original had good continuity. I suspect moisture issues. Anyway, once replaced, the set came to life and aligned properly.

All right, have a nice day.
