I have an FRG-7 in very good condition which I aligned twice. Once to do it and once to be sure ;-)
The results were the same.
I also have the full docs. If someone hasn't already documented this on youtu.be I'll be happy to help you, though not on youtu.be. It's very simple with a nanoVNA.
It's a bit strange of a radio.
Have Fun!

Hello,
I collected a FRG-7 yesterday. I thought it was in better shape and probably overpaid?for it (EUR100).
The overall aesthetic condition can be improved:
- It's painted in black.
- The power switch cover is missing. And the light dim cover and shafts are missing.
- the rubber feet, from bottom and side are missing.
- The carrying handle is missing.
- The rear lugs to keep the power cord are missing.
I think all this can be improved. When switching on I can't tune anything, although the previous?owner sent me a video of it working fine, so I guess I have not been lucky yet.
There is something under the power capacitors, I'm not sure if this is because they are leaking. Also, some pads seem to be missing in the PCBs (not sure if this is a concern or not).
I think everything is fixable. I appreciate?any help or hints you can provide.
Regards,
Miguel
