This is getting interesting. I found the nut that attaches the compression capacitors to the stud on the top of the first IF can to be loose. So I tightened it up and re-assembled the can. I then attempted a new alignment but the 455kH tone sounded horrible (wobbly) so I decided to give up. When my hand touched the #1 antenna terminal when I was disconnecting my signal generator the radio started to play and I can get most stations using me as an antenna. The radio sounds pretty good too. So now I've got to get this in the cabinet and try the alignment once again. Just to make things clear I wasn't drinking last night.
