Don,
I didn't see any gimmick arrangement in my S-85.
I can confirm once again C62 is not installed in my S-85 neither as a discrete component nor a a gimmick arrangement.
the main tuning dial seems perfectly positioned to me. When I inject a signal from my sig-gen into the receiver, I find it exactly where I expect it to be.
