I've changed all the caps and out of spec resistors and replaced any crumbling wiring. Tube pins and band switch cleaned. I have no reception unless I touch the top of the first I.F. Can. Then I can pick up stations by messing with the 2nd I.f. can. The oscillator fails the second radio test. Hoping a new rf choke gets the oscillator working. I'll keep looking for the bad ground
