[Hallicrafters] SX-16 BFO

[Joe Connor]

I am currently restoring an SX-16 and need some help with the BFO.
 
When I turn on the BFO injection, I get BFO only with the Pitch Control set with the pointer between the 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions. At other points, it is as if the BFO is turned off. Adjusting the screw in the BFO can does not help. Yes, I did replace the two .01 paper caps inside the BFO assembly.
 
Here are my questions:
 
1. How do you align the BFO can? The manual is silent on this.
 
2. Do my symptoms sound like a bad Pitch Control?
 
As matters stand, this receiver performs pretty well, although I can see why the FCC wanted another RF stage added.
 
As always, thank you for your help and advice.
