Agreed. Though some service prints give data for a sweep-less peaking alignment using a simple sine-wave generator, some adjustments like traps are meant to be peaked to a frequency and can be set the same way.

I remember one guy here who properly aligned a Dumont by eye....I would not try or recomend that, but MAN was it ever impressive....
