Guys. Have been too busy to take up this project again however I am very curious as to what the solution will end up being so please stand by. For the moment I've taken up another of what i thought would be a simple alignment job only to find that I have yet another one of these "weird" issues.

BTW to answer the question as to how I'm doing the alignment. In order to keep the impedance of my frequency counter from loading down the oscillators, I hook up my frequency counter behind my oscilliscope. In other words I probe with my oscilliscope and use the output jack at the back of the oscilliscope that spits out what's on channel B and then run that into the frequency counter. This way there is no loading and no shift whatsoever on any of the oscillators while they are being tested.

I've done lots of radio alignments it's just this one turned weird.
