I rewound the oscillator coil. Got the resistances very close. I aligned it but still have simultaneous stations coming through and way of the their frequency. Previous to the oscillator coil, I found the RF coil open and rewound It. I changed all the paper and electrolytic caps. All of the tubes were replaced. I suspect something is bad in the oscillator section and checked the mica caps but they seem to be within tolerances. Has anyone repaired or restored this model?
