...still waiting for a dial, before I can attempt the last suggestion i.e. using a 2nd set to ascertain if the oscillator is working.  I did do the other tests:  Voltages on the 6A7 are fine.  The oscillator primary shows continuity and the resistance for the 18 turns of wire is .3 ohms.  I checked the oscillator section of the variable tuning cap:  With one clip on the wired output lug, and the other probe on the stator, the resistance read .9 ohms throughout the entire range of motion.  I did receive one station, last night.  It was VERY faint, but I could make out the words that were spoken.  It seemed to be near the high end of the BC range, but without the phenolic dial, I don't know the frequency.
