RP06 alignment

15 Jul 1998

...

 A friend has an RP06, an alignment pack, and the
alignment tool, but
lacks the instructions to do the deed.
Anyone got the manual that describes the procedure, or  know how?  
 Have your friend contact me off-line at work... I may have some RP06
 manuals in my collection.  Maybe one of them is a maintenance guide
 which explains it...

It's a bit tricky without the Perch tester -- but it can be done.
The trick is "windage"  -- the top heads and bottom heads tend to float
differently with the wind tunnel open.  I seem to remember having the top
heads floating -20 on the meter, the bottom +20 and then the stuff
would drop in on line with the windtunnel closed.

Give me a call if I can be of any help.  I've never done 'em without the
tester, but I think an analog multimeter may work.
