Roger,
 
Good information.  I took a fairly simple approach to setting the BFO by
using a strong local BC station, peaking the carrier in the 0.1 filter
position and then zero beating the BFO against the BC carrier.  I do have a
counter so will see how close I came with the BC station approach.
 
There is slight amount of drag and noise on the - side of the BFO travel.
I'm going to pull the IF, so will see if I can find that sweet spot where
it's smooth across the full travel.  BTW, I do not have the micro
dial...just the knob/
