ever: Sky Master: Alignment

If removing the chassis, note that after gently easing off the inner tuning knob the tuning must be rotated so the flats on the lower and upper parts of shaft are aligned to ease off the dial.

The dial is keyed, so no mechanical alignment of scale.

1) On MW 600kHz (5 on dial = 500m) adjust L.O. coil
2) Adjust trimmer at 1500kHz (2 on dial = 200m) for HF LO tracking
3) Peak RF reception at 1500kHz (2 on dial = 200m)
repeat / recheck 1 to 3
4) On LW adjust trimmer at 272kHz (11 on dial) or RTE half way between 11 and 13 if no generator.
5) Peak RF reception at 272kHz (11 on dial= ) or on RTE 252kHz
Verify that R4 is slightly off 15 on dial (198kHz = 1515m)

Avoid adjusting IF as the cores are fragile, likely to be seized and unlikely to need adjustment unless a radically different transistor is fitted.
