[R-390] Sweep Generator Alignment

To clarify, inject the nominal 455 kHz sweep via the grid test point of =
the mixer prior to the IF. Thiis allows the IF deck to see its correct =
impedance on the input for correct alignment of the mixer and the first =
IF stage.
If you are lucky you can use a storage display specan on the IF output =
to see the result, or as previous posts have suggested, the diode load =
voltage to an o-scope is a more universally practical method. In a dim =
light you should be able to see the longer persistence trace on the =
scope.

Yes if it can do a slow stable sweep and you have a useful way to see =
the result of that slow sweep.
Inject via the grid test point of the mixer prior to the IF.

GE List.  Would there be any benefit to aligning the IF of a 390a or non =
"a"
using a sweep generator?  If so how would one be connected?  I have an
opportunity to pick up a 4mhz sweep/function generator.

thanks for the comments
