Thanks Brad.

Time to reassemble the RF unit.
After working for 2-1/2 hours, it was mostly together again:

I still need to replace the two grid cap leads which you can see in the third and fourth photos, attach a grid cap connector to one green wire which is already in place, reattach the sides, install the band switch shaft, and put the whole thing into the 38-690 tuner chassis.
Getting closer...
