Actually I was wondering what a lot of you guys are using on the way of IF alignment. I imagine after changinh all the caps in a set alignment is a must, and since I got two candidates for all caps to be replaced I knew I was going to have to start looking at alignment tools so I'm happy to see you all posting your cool toys! !
I'm going to make a work table as well. It looks like a lot of the alignment toys take up quite a bit of space. I know they all don't need to be out all the time, looks like you all have limited space on the bench?!?!?
Besides If I leave my tools out, the squirrels will chew off the knobs. Ind I'de never be able to keep up with fixing the probe wires.
If I had my choice though, I would want a setup like the power consumption room on Forbidden Planet where the entire wall had meters and junk like that.
Thanks for all of you who continue to post your toys, model numbers, and special features of each.

LOL - I just took all 3 out just for the photo op. Normally, I just have the 615 up on the shelf. I've been lucky so far and never had to align the RF and video IF stages in a set - only the audio. I think if you avoid touching the RF/IF coils or small valued mica/ceramic caps you won't need an alignment.
I have a Hallicrafters 506 up on the bench right now. I think I'll try out the EICO just to see what kind of response curve it produces.
