I think this one may qualify as "Antique" even though it's transistor. I'm
finding it impossible to find a service manual for it. I tried Sams first,
and then Googled the hell out of it. It's not that rare a radio; some of
you may have one or worked on one:

Any hints on where I could find the service manual? Was this same radio
made under another name? It looks a little like a Channel Mast 6248, but
they are decidedly different. Any help would be appreciated.

Hope you find something. The problem is, it's Lloyd's, and not a big seller.
All their radios came with their own "manual", which consisted of a tiny
schematic glued to the inside of the back cover.

Wasn't there some kind of rule in the sixty's that all imported radios had
to have a schematic?
The Japanese stuck a postage sized schematic on the unit, there usually was
no other documentation.

This one doesn't even have that. I really just need the alignment info.
It's
easy to figure out on an old single-band AA5, but these multiband transistor
sets are difficult enough even with the manual.

That's most likely true. There were a lot of import rules back then.
Lloyd's made some pretty good radios (and some pretty bad ones). In my
experience, their AM only radios with the TRF stage were right up there with
the Channel Master and Sony radios of the same type for reception, but they
weren't quite up to the latter's audio quality. I suspect this particular
radio probably wasn't too bad on the AM and SW bands, but I've yet to see
one of these types that was worth spit on the VHF bands.

I can't offer any assistance - but your post brought back memories as
this was my first shortwave radio.

I have three old Channel Master radios and at least one or two old
Lloyds radios.I doubt if they have a schematic you are looking for.Yep,
I bought them cheap at thrift stores years and years ago.

This is a pretty good radio. Even without an alignment, it's performs very
well. And the build quality is abot as good as it got for that era. It
reminds me of a Panasonic RF-5000 in that regard.

Do you have an oscilloscope? Another radio?
