I guess I'll find out how good (or how bad) modern plastic adjustment tools are before long, as I'll have to get at least a hex alignment tool before I can think about aligning one of these units.
As for this evening's progress...
Removing the IF board, replacing the two electrolytics (yup, it had two, not one), and reinstalling took a good chunk of this evening.
At least the thing is still working...  
That leaves the MPX board.
And then going back, replacing the two 16 uF caps in the audio circuit, then ordering some parts for the next receiver - to include two 1 uF axial caps to finish the control amplifier in this one.
