Don't mess with alignment. Without proper equipment (and expertise), that would likely make things worse.

Have you double-checked every one of your replacements against the schematic? It is distressingly easy to make a wiring mistake. Everyone reading this thread has done it at one time or another. A wiring error can sometimes create a weird symptom that's hard to debug. Instead of the classic repair situation where you're trying to track down a failed component, you may have a case where every component is good but you accidentally connected the neckbone to the kneebone.

Incidentally, if you are checking capacitors, they need to be checked at their normal working voltage. A modern digital multimeter can't apply enough voltage for a meaningful test. My cap checker only works up to about 500V, so for anything beyond that -- say, the 1KV rated cap mentioned earlier -- the only way I can test it is by substitution: installing a new one.
