Phil, not to be picayunish but the circular set of holes applies to a wafer type tuner wherein all the adjuster screws are exposed, not just the one for the current channel.
By contrast, a turret tuner has just one adjustment hole so that changing to the next channel exposes only that channel's adjuster.

Turning the screw with a l-o-n-g skinny screwdriver should allow you to center the tuning for that channel.
Ideally that should be done with a non-conductive screwdriver; back in the day there as a long skinny fiberglass tool for this purpose.

Note: I don't know if it's true for this set, but for some TVs you're supposed to adjust the oscillators in a definite order, for example, starting at channel 13 and working down to 2. I adjusted all of my channels in 13-2 order.
That was true of wafer tuners, not turret type.
