Just a guess but, generally, if a crystal oscillator has anything wrong 
with it, it just stops oscillating. Ditto for PTO/VFO type oscillators. 
Seldom are they "weak".

Are you aligning the radio just on principle or was the radio 
malfunctioning? If it was malfunctioning, alignment is the LAST thing 
you want to do, especially in a solid state  radio. Again, generally, 
alignment in a solid state radio does not change much unless someone 
fiddled with it. Parts fail and you don't want to try to correct a 
failed part problem with alignment! I'm new to the group so I am not 
directly familiar with your radio's problems so please, if you can, 
fill me in.
