Just my 2 cents here...sudden failures of output are not caused by
alignment. It really sounds like a component failure of some sort.
The only thing messing with alignment will do for you at this point is
mask the solution to real problem.
You will get good advice here regarding sorting thru the possible causes
and isolating the fault. Don't mess with the alignment.

Garey,
I'm not sure I mentioned this to you or not. When I first realized I
was having this trouble with the low output on the TX I heard some
kind of a sound when I was tuning up. This was right at the onset of
the trouble. After hearing that sound is when I noticed my plate and
RF out was way low. Its been like this ever since I heard the sound. I
can't really accurately describe it other than a "flash" or a
"sizzle". Not sure if it was an arc or what. I don't see anything on
the variable capacitors that indicate that an arc occurred. I was not
using an amp at the time. Just tuning up barefoot into my DL and at a
fairly low power level. Could a component have failed?
I'm a little hesitant to attempt an alignment myself. I don't consider
myself much of a technician. I will read up on that procedure some
more before I give it a go.
Also, I am getting the exact same results whether I'm using the RCVR,
XMTR, or in separate to tune up.
73 and thanks!
