Model 90 Tuning after cleaning tuning capacitor
#16

Steve, there's no such thing as being embarrassed while trying to help.  Mine is 4 gang.

I did notice something stupid i did - the third gang was assembled in "reversed".   I corrected it but i still get a continuity reading of 1.2 meaning grounded to the chassis.  the plates are better aligned and the shaft does not float like it did.  Still no reception.  3 Am in the morning work caused the first problem so i'm leaving this for tomorrow.  I get obsessed working on this stuff and do more harm than good.  I don't know why the 3rd gang is grounded because the other 3 sides are not and i tried to lock it under the rotor shaft, plus  the plates are not touching - proved that when i rotate up so top and bottom are not overlapping.  Well there's tomorrow. at least that is a problem that had to be fixed. Rich
