Check to see if you replaced the 47k resistor in the grid circuit of the oscillator w/a 4.7k. Clean bandswitch and pushbutton switches with Deoxit. Do not power up the set till the Deoxit is dry sometimes contact clean can set your bandswitch on fire. You can use a hair dryer or heat gun to expedite the drying process. Check for misaligned contacts on switches and burn marks (carbon traces).

If a coil was wound backwards, the oscillator would not work at all.
