There was a guy on here two or three years ago, a total newbie with a late 40s Dumont (I forget his name. Phil Nelson probably remembers). The guy did an IF alignment totally by eyeball, no instruments, no nothing. But damn if he didn't end up with a perfect pic, just as good as with a full instrument alignment. That might be the way to go with this one.

OK, I'll try walking back the IF and tweaking the CH 3 slug.

I've got a pretty good picture now, I know what you mean by doing it visually. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
