[Hallicrafters] SX-117 VFO Alignment

[darrel nichols]

I cannot get the dial to calibrate in spite of considerable effort...

Decided I will have to stake the tuning cap, but there are no slots.
Before I rip the thing outta there and take a hacksaw to the plates,
does anybody have any ideas, hints, tricks or otherwise.

Also, the plates are straight on the tuning cap, but there appear
to be small wrinkles in the copper surface.  Were they staked in
production?   Perhaps the previous owner straightened the
bent parts!?!
