I would be interested in learning how to do the alignment?using a nanoVNA, if you are kind enough to share the process. I thought nanoVNA was only for antenna / filter testing; so you use it in place of a signal generator? I don't own one but would consider getting one if it is useful.

Put Deoxit on the switch contacts and align it using a nanoVNA per the factory manual. . It's an easy radio to work on and a really neat design.It deserves its reputation.
Have Fun! Reg

If the radio has been in storage long, take a can of canned air and blow all the dust off all of the tuner caps. That might help you hear something.

I have an FRG-7 that was in storage for maybe 10 years and when I first turned it on, everything worked but it wouldn't tune anything.?

Blowing out the dust from the preselector, MHz, and main tuner caps started it receiving.

Also, exercise all the bandswitches.

At least that would be a good start, if you haven't done those things already.
