[Hallicrafters] Aligning a S-76

[Chris Farley via Hallicrafters]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't think you should be hearing anything from the speaker during IF alignment...  Are the alignment instructions telling you to measure the audio output, or an RF voltage ahead of the detector?  I'll see if I have a Sam's on the S-76 when I get home...

Hi Charlie
I have been procrastinating on the doghouse. I see two shielded leads and a couple of cloth wires to be disconnected to get it off. But I can't put it off any longer.
The alignment part is the thing that is baffling me. If I do not use a .01ufd cap between the sig gen and the pin 1 of the if can, (even though the manual does not describe that) I am connecting to 275vdc, and certainly going to burn something up. I am injecting 50kc unmodulated signal, but get no speaker output. I do at 1500kc, and at all of the dial calibrations. 
Thanks Ken
