David:

Thanks so much for the information. I work on analog stuff (tape
decks, turntables), but I'm not too well-versed in tuner circuitry.
This will be a big help.

FWIW, I do have a frequency counter, but it's not in hand just yet.
(Just ordered it.)



I looked at the service manual again and the alternative method of alignment
says to adjust VR301 until the stereo light comes on. When you get your
counter, hook it up to TP301 via 100k ohm resistor and adjust VR301 for
19KHz. It might help if you move the tuning dial so there is no station
being received during the test.
