A stupid question perhaps, but where do I find the oscillator tuning slug? Is that in IF can #1? (if so, top or bottom?)

The alignment page refer to the "broadcast oscillator (L2) tuning slug, but there's nothing on L2 for adjustment.

I did run across WBZ, I think- FOX news?

Edit: Also, two questions:
1. Do the resistors have a major effect on tuning/alignment? I want to order replacements for all of them so I can do a decent job of the point to point wiring instead of the hack-job it currently is with clipped and soldered leads.
2. The set can run at wall voltage, versus the 117 it was designed for... However, will this unduly stress the tubes? If so, what sort of dropping resistor would I need? (so I can add it to this parts order)
