I have the same problem with my 118. Dial calibration off at the lower end of the SW band. Also tried playing with the value of the padding cap, but if I got the dial calibration close, then the ant and RF tuned circuits did not track and the sensitivity suffered. Finally I gave up and just adjusted for best tracking and sensitivity, and accepted the dial error.
It really seems that the SW band dial was poorly calibrated, because when carefully aligned, the tracking of the Ant, RF, and Osc tuned circuits is very good on SW despite what the dial indicates.
