I remembered that the Eico 369 manual talked about stagger tuned IF and sure enough the manual talks about adjusting each IF for its own frequency. I looked on Sams schematics and sure enough, there is a frequency marked by each IF coil! However there are only 2 freq. used. Yup, the 25.3 and the 23.1. Which corresponds to the Sams alignment chart.

Hmm....still puzzled on how to actually align the video IF section.
