Hi...
    First, many thanks to Scott for the *first class* photo's and
instructions on how to rebuild the RF Deck!

    My question conerns a otherwise high number and excellent looking EAC
that does not receive signals, except on the 28 mHz band.  After checking
things out, I found that in the RF deck,  the 8-16 mHz cam does not line up
with its associated black line when the counter is at 7 +000.   It's waayyyy
off.  How do I align it;  it does not have a clamp to loosen for alignment.
Versus the other 5 racks/cams that have clamps for that purpose.  (One step
I tried:  I loosened the clamps on the cams on either side of the 8-16 mHz
cam plus another one just under the 16-32 mHz cam --- all to no avail;  I
could not get the 8-16 mHz cam to move.)   Do I have to disassemble the
entire RF deck gear train mechanism to the point where the 8-16 mHz cam is
physically free of touching the other gears and then reposition it to align
with the black line?  Or is there another way?  I hope so...

thanks in advance for your help!
