If it can be salvaged by installing a T-103 unchanged from its original tuned state then I’ll leave it at that. If I find the other traps are so misaligned retuning them is going to be very difficult I’ll replace them with the other 2 additional traps with their original tuning and see what the overall IF looks like. Bob has so much going on it may be a bit before he can harvest and get the traps to me so this thread might go on hiatus for a while.

Don't lose confidence! You just have to apply logic and patience. To apply logic, you need to know how it works and what you are doing.
With regards to T-103, you will not be able to leave it as is as circuit variances will affect tuning.
Let us return to the procedure. Since you impatiently began to adjust things before we logically analysed, it means going thru the procedure once again and stopping after the completion of each stage to discuss and not jumping forward prematurely.
In this way you will have a near perfect alignment on this set and you will have gained the knowledge and experience to apply to future alignments.
