assume I would be tuning it to an even 10 MHz.  Wouldn't that throw
something else off?"

Although the service manual may give a different procedure, the way I set
my TCXO was to adjust the trimmer (accessible through a small hole in the
TCXO's case) so that when 10 MHz WWV was tuned in to zero beat, the MP's
frequency readout was 10.000.00.

I made that adjustment 6 years ago, and the dial (freq readout) accuracy
is still right on.
