[Hammarlund] Alignment of the HQ 129X after recapping

[Glen Zook]

You can align it fine with a signal generator that has
a calibrated attenuator.  Just use the S-Meter and
keep the input to just under S-9 reading.  I have
found that virtually all of the older receivers need
an alignment if they haven't been "touched" for a
number of years.  However, I do not recommend
replacing tubes just to replace tubes (if it "ain't"
broke, don't fix it").

I have scopes and seldom use them in the alignment of
boat anchors (but do have several service monitors
that are excellent signal generators).

I am wondering though if a realignment is necessary
since none of the frequency determining components
were changed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Also is it possible to realign this receiver without
the use of a scope as the owners manual suggests, as I
dont have acccess to one all I have is a signal
generator. Anyone ever realigned one of these and
could enlighten me?
