I found the vrs.. Am seems pretty good, but ssb im only getting about 6 to 8 out. Should be a tad more since its a 40 ch.
And before anyone chimes in about caps and it's an old radio, yes I realize this and ill probably change them out.

One thing that seems kinda odd to me is the order in which the adjustments are listed. The ALC is set to 12w in step 3, and then in the last step, it says turn ALC to minimum and adjust the cans.
I am not familiar with that radio, but I would sure think that the ALC setting should come after the cans are peaked.

I have the Sears version of this radio, The VCO loop and the oscillators are giving me a hard time so I had to park it for a while, to ease my headache. Model # 934.38260700.
After peaking 204 turn off the tone and double check the carrier balance (RT & CT201) then back to using a continuos tone, when you get to T402 and T403 turn the tone/mic input level down until the wattage drops to 1 or 2 watts and adjust them each a little at a time to get the highest low watt peak. Then turn it back up to normal and continue. And like Brandon says Redoo RT402 (ALC) at the end to your liking.
I usualy set ALC with the 2 tone and a scope till the tops of the "eggs" start to flatten or stretch a little, then back it off to round them out again.
