[Hammarlund] HQ-145A Alignment

[Patrick A. Thompson Sr.]

I'd just buy a kit of tools as sold by several stores (maybe antique 
electronics supply) for maybe $5 or so. I don't remember the HQ-145 
needing anything out of the ordinary.

Be really careful with the old brittle slugs. The IF cans are 
"unobtainium".

FYI, my HQ-145 is one of my favorites for listening to AM, both 
commercial and ham. Not too narrow for good fidelity.
