I have a Sherwood S-3000 III monaural tuner being powered by a Sherwood S-1000 amp...lately I have noticed when powering up that I may need to adjust the tuner dial a bit to get WFMT in Chicago...this is about the only station I use this monaural rig for so my question is, does it appear I may have a Tube going or might an alignment be needed?
The Sherwood Tuner does not always need to be adjusted and I have not tried the Sherwood, leaving it on but volume down to see if the station comes in later after the Sherwood has warmed up before checking the radio signal.
Both of these units have been gone over but it has been since about 2008 when they were freshened and aligned...both of these also do not get a lot of use but perhaps an hour or so each day.
what has thrown me off is I substituted an EICO HFT-92 and may have had this same issue which leads me to believe it might be the station rather than the Tuner...I may also be misremembering so I am trying the EICO Tuner again for a bit to see if it does this too...
Thoughts or ideas on what may be causing this would be appreciated...I live in the near Chicago suburbs and am only using the ribbon type antenna for signal but really have no issues with receiving radio signal with my Nakamichi TA-2A stereo receiver...
