Fully restored and aligned. Now, it's a Sony! Sony CRF-5090 Earth Orbiter restoration. Part 3

The alignment of one of these world receivers is something that actually enjoy, and this one offers a lot of scope for this work. There are many bands, and each requires some careful alignment to ensure good dial accuracy. While it will never be perfect, it is important to at least set the end-points correctly, and align the antenna and RF circuits for optimum reception. While this work may not be exactly fascinating to watch, it may serve someone well if they are wondering how to do this to their own radio. I hope you enjoyed this series and that it proves as a useful reference for future restorers.
