I think I will have to do the alignment on my Mitsubishi Trinescope set since it displays the classic signs of misalignment; tunable ghosts and excessive hue shift with fine tuning. I will have to do this without an alignment procedure, I only have the various carrier frequencies known from the instruction manual (and they're not even the usual 45.75MHz either, I think it was 24 or 25MHz).

That's why I'm looking at the Heathkit over the B&K Precision , even though the B&K seems to be a better unit, it's useless w/o probes, which are impossible to find.
Heathkit, however even if you do not have any probes, has how to make them, and test / calibrate the unit in the manual.
"I'd make the shield before worrying about the alignment... You would be surprised some of the wacky problems removing a shield from a working set can cause."
I'll prob do that soon. Most likely seek aid from a friend who has more exp in the area, as my hands areattuned to more delicate work like soldering ( fine pitch ) and so on, and it also does not help that I have only partial use of the right hand
( De Quervain's) too many years of holding tools in the same position, like , soldering irons.
I can use the hand ( grasping and such ) for short bits of light work, and thus I was able to the TV work slowly over the months, but something like the shield would cause a flair up.
