This video has improved as you have gotten rid of most of the HUM in the audio stream. You might look into getting more side lighting to reduce the heavy shadows from your hands and arms. Try not to talk about parts of the schematic that you are not pointing too. It does however make us pay attention though. Please don't play the radio while you are talking. You don't need the competition. Take your generator and follow most any AA5 alignment procedure. That will get your IF aligned and the front end aligned to the dial. If the dial is still off then tinker with the RF components. What a nice project to work on with all new components and a clean chassis.
Yes, my videos could always be better; I do have another side light to the right of me that will probably remove any shadows from the top light. I do forget and talk over the radio at times but getting better at that. As far as the alignment the IF’s are close to 455 kHz and will not improve the dial and as mentioned, I could adjust the local oscillator and both the antenna and oscillator on the tuner using my signal generator but it won’t change the dial/rotor position that much if at all. This kit probably came with mostly ceramic caps which I don’t have any of them at the higher voltages. This was basically an educational kit for students taking the course; I wanted to share it as an educational video for anyone interested in the radio hobby. Thanks for your comment and suggestions.

First Comment, good video!
