42-345 Receiver Bugged Out - n9vu - 02-15-2006

Just got into this set. Originally when I fired it up it received, but real intermittently like the tuning cap was dirty. After doing some cleaning of all the major and minor stuff, I've now discovered that the receiver is alive somewhat, but not receiveing or tuning any signals. With the assistance of my signal generator it sounds like it's receiving 455khz, the IF only. The question besides where did I go wrong is what to look for? Is this a recapping issue? None was done yet. Coil opened up? Any advice or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, GB.

It was a recapping issue BTW.
