I agree with Ken Gordon - at most do an electrical realignment. Basically a 'don't muck with it' approach.

Mark:

The dial is "pinned" and cannot be easily moved as you suggest.

Alignment of the radio is actually very easy, but the top cover must be
removed.

Also, I didn't see it being as far off as someone else thought: it looked to
me to be only off about 250 Hz. The station Mark was listening to was at
700 kHz, and the dial was reading only a bit low.
