With this type of adjustment, I've always had good luck recording a monaural
sinusoid on a recorder known to be in alignment, then playing the tape on
the machine in question and adjusting the screw for a null in a pair of stereo
'phones that have the L-R common disconnected. You could also make a differ-
ential measurement with a dual-channel 'scope if you didn't trust your ears.
