What's the recommended method for adjusting the track 0 switch and track 0
stop on a Tandon TM100-2, if you don't have an alignment disk? I do have a
scope.

Just use a known-good disk and adjust for best results. That's about
all you can do without a calibrated reference floppy.
There were also non-scope digital alignment disks with sectors recorded
at various offsets and azimuths from ideal. Those could be handled by
simple code that read sector IDs.

I'll also add that too many people go into the business of re-alignment
without first cleaning the track 0 sensor. Since everything is keyed
off of the track 0 reference, this can lead to grief later on.
Clean the sensor first and see if that doesn't clear up your alignment
issues.
