I replaced the caps and filters and several resistors.  The chassis and tuning condenser were badly rusted. Removed rust and cleaned contacts.  Oscillator would not work.  Tried several things but ended up trying Norm's technique of putting a 4.7K resistor in parallel with #6.  Worked perfectly.  Sounds great and what an outstanding forum.  Thank you all.
