OK, time to start a new topic. I'm now tryign to align my S-38s and I
have some questions. I have an RF generator and its working fine. Do I
need a VTVM to connect to the speaker pins? Or will any multi-meter
type instrument work? Is it ACV that needs to be measured? Also, the
S-38 alignment instructions says when aligning the 455kc section to
connect the hot lead to the "stator plates of the rear section of the
tuning gang." Now, I know what the tuning gang is, at least I think I
do, but what are the stator plates? Any help on these questions would
sure help out someone who's learned a lot with his first boatanchor
restoration, but needs to know a bit more.
Thanks, Rod

Probably any old multimeter will work fine for speaker output; it's
the AGC lines and suchlike that really want zillion-Ohm-per-Volt
meters. At the speaker pins, you'll be measuring ACV.

The stator is the set of plates that doesn't move, that is
_stat_ionary, hence _stat_or.

Good luck, and thanks for asking!
