Hi Tim
Man, that sucks. Some of those Majestic 91 consoles are fine pieces of furniture, most especially the highboy with doors.
Seems I have heard of someone trying to apply heat to the pot metal and then attempting to spread the plates apart while the pot metal was hot. I do not suggest trying this, I think you would have more bad luck than good. Trying to find a multi-section tuning condenser with a value close to original would be the best thing to do. (And no, sorry, I have no idea what the original range, in pF, of the Majestic tuning gang would have been.)
Another Majestic 91 chassis will, most likely, have the same problems.
