Ok, Noticed when I started alignment that at low end of the bands when moving the tuning I would hear all kinds of noises. scratching sounds.. When I get to about 600 on AM band noise and scratching goes away. I decided to remove the Tuning Capacitor/. I measured the Cap and one side was OK other was shorted until I got a little way up then all was fine..

See Cap...

Question is ... How do you clean this? I thought I would try cleaning in case that's all it is .. Something is shorting.. I looked under a Magnifier and saw nothing that looked like it was touching..

Thanks
