Default hallicrafters s-40a, bad band(s)

yep using bama copy halli s40a service guide. have sams. reread phil
for first 4 sets i did. will read bruce w/interest, but some over my
head. think i will retry if align since cleaned band again w/no
change. band rotors look pretty good. have located the band 1 related
coils and will try to figure out how to test for opens....4
solderpoints per coil.... not sure which should be connected to meter.

thank you all for your patience and advice

Richard reminded me of one other point .. check you coils in the BC (band
1).

Phil found bad capacitors in some of these sections or inside cans (great
way to ruin the day) ...
finding and replacing resolved his sensitivity and peaking.
Note that many have commented that sensitivity was lousy (compared to what?)
on band 1.
