probably the weaker sets need an alignment. The caps and stuff drift out of spec after a while, and the IF and RF cans need a re-peak to perform optimally. I've done it just by tuning in a weak station mid-band, and tweaking the cans till the station was at it's loudest, but its not the ideal way. Best method would involve injecting a carrier at the IF frequency and tuning the IF cans with an o-scope, but generally speaking the earhole method for AM sets works acceptably.
