You don't need a full alignment. You just have to find those magic
holes. My Sam's says they are there. You need not fear adjusting
just the oscillator frequencies ... its absolutely the easiest
thing to get set in the tuner.

I guess there is nothing to lose by trying to adjust the oscillator slugs. I will need to make a new tool. In the process of packing up & unpacking my workshop, I misplaced (!) my special screwdriver with a whittled-down handle. I have a big pile of plastic alignment tools, but none of them is right for this job.

Adjusting the oscillator doesn't seem to be the magic bullet. I made a tool and used a tiny penlight to confirm that there is an accessible slug at the end of the tunnel labeled 12. After a little turning, now I can break up the video and audio at either end of the fine tuning range for that channel. The audio is outstanding near the clockwise end of the range, just before the picture breaks up. Still no color where you'd expect it, though.
