Thank you very much for that quote from the manual. I have the chassis all apart right now, but all of my measurements just tell me the set is working normally. When I get it all back together I'll follow the steps as you describe them.

The cabinet got its last coat of lacquer today, and it looks great! Several of my neighbors saw me finishing this thing up, and they all said it looked great. I guess they had been watching me pounding away at that ratty cabinet every night for the last week.

edit/update:I just put it all back together, and it is a LOT less touchier than it was. I cleaned all of the tuner parts while it was apart, as well as the tube pins, etc. Following a post of Banderson's on adjusting a trimmer for optimum sound, I was really able to dial it all in! I think I'll put it all back together tomorrow and give the set a shakedown test.
