I'm thinking of aligning my  500 to 1500 Kc receiver.

Page 41 of the manual says to raise the protruding bakelite rods (of the 3 IF transformers) until they snap into the up position.

Delicately playing with one of them, it seems rather fragile, and I have to use a small pliers to move it -- I'm not sure what tool they used back then.

It didn't want to move either way, and I was leery of giving it a good twist for obvious reasons.  The other two seem just as delicate.

The radio plays but it a bit lethargic -- i was thinking of just doing an alignment with the rods as they were (although the manual frown on that)
