Philco 39-7 not tracking
#1

Restoring this 39-7, first I changed the electrolytes (2) then tested the radio. It played but I noticed the dial was way off and not tracking, the pointer is correct to the variable capacitor. I replaced all paper caps brought the radio up, the voltages looked okay, but still have a bad tracking problem. Example station 1370 comes in at 1200 the lower end is closer but still off. I did an alignment the IF went well. Tried to do the second step at 1550 KC adjusting 3B and 3A did nothing.
I believe 3B is the oscillator.
This is first for me the dial not tracking properly.
Help!
