[Hallicrafters] Aligning a S-76

[Ken And Susan Hittson via Hallicrafters]

Thanks Jim
I can try listening at the 1650kc freq, and I also can try using a small (goIt)  frequency counter, that has a whip antenna to measure the frequency of the 2nd mixer. One thing I found, is that if I dangle a test lead off of T1 term 1, the radio plays thru the speaker (normally) like it is cross-talking between the stages. If I move the dangling test lead loop toward V8 the radio plays very clearly. Removing the test lead results in a quiet radio. 
Thanks Ken
