I replaced the padder, the original I could no longer adjust due to the slot being so worn away and badly rusted. I have the stations coming in now where they should, volume a bit low on the low end but otherwise acceptable. Probably not an exact replacement value.

BTW, this post was in refenrece to the Marconi 88A alignment question, assistance provided by Edd and Ed.
Thanks
