[Hallicrafters] SX-101A Dial Adjustment Help

[E. Jerold Forwood]

Frank,
Just Move the pointer's position on the dial string so that it's position
is centered on the desired freq. while the pointer adjustment is in the
center of it's travel.  Why go through all the trouble to realign the
entire receiver when it's that easy?  Unless, of course you have the
proper equipment, the knowledge, and the time. But then you may find that
you will still have to move the pointer's position anyway!
The pointer is not that hard to get to and you can clean the inside of
the glass in front of the dial at the same time.  You may also find that
the dial cord is frayed and needs replacing.
Just my $0.02!
