Without a matched set of finals the service manual is useless. Any tech who says otherwise is clueless.
Here's why factory service manuals are useless.

Yes I saw matched vs unmatched. The important part would be to see numbers on the finished product

Impossible to eliminate them with the factory finals. -

Of course he's going to see certain numbers with the test jig he built. The problem is, that the numbers are going to change when installed in the radio, due to impedance of the different circuits. At least that's the way I understand it. Again, I think it's a lot of unnecessary time and money spent just to talk on the CB band. I really don't think anyone will notice a small amount of spurious emissions that a radio will put out. Even just by using a service manual alignment.
Timin770 Thanks this. -
I’m trying to figure out what does this have to do with the factory service manual?

Dave is a good tech.
It will still be a splatterbox, and you won't like how it sounds.
( remember the AT-6666 you tossed ) -
Well I don't think you can call that a factory tune on that radio. At least not a very good one. The finals and drivers were set too high, as was mentioned in the video. They were around 4.3 to 4.6 vdc, when the driver should be 3.75vdc and the finals 3.5vdc, as per the manual. Who knows what person may have been in that radio since DTB worked on it. The radio looks like it's had a hard life.

I didn’t say I didn’t like the way the radio talked, it was receive that was a problem for me. -
Everything needs to be done in chronological order otherwise you're not gonna be happy with the results if a crucial step is skipped.
