All the RF, IF tubes on this set were weak (except for the 3rd video IF), so I have already replaced them. The tube shields were missing, but I had some spares. The 6T8 was shorted, so I replaced it as well. The 2uf got changed along with all the other electrolytics.

How different is the bar-over-knob piece with the range switch, will it still fit with just an extra hole on the top? Mine was broken in two and only half of it came with the set. (I have been contemplating making the other half out of fiberglass) One with just an extra hole in it would be much easier to deal with, I could fill the hole with some of this plastic repair stuff I got, or just put a switch in it that dosen't do anything.

Thanks for the allignment information. It will probably be some time before I have another completely free day to try it. The sound problem actually isn't that bad, it only shows up when watching a really strong signal with alot of white on the screen at once.
