Good-ish news. I found the main problem with the MW, it turned out to be fingers on the bandswitch that were not making contact with the rotary wafers. I now have MW reception, with just one relatively minor problem remaining.. the antenna section does not track properly. I have gotten the high end (above 1100 KHz) to work pretty well, but the lower end, especially below 900 KHz, does not resonate where it needs to. I think I could get a good balance if I can adjust the coil and trimmer capacitor in the antenna circuit. However, to do this, I need to find or fabricate a special tool (hexagonal driver) that will fit inside of the coil. Does anyone know where I could get this tool, or the metric dimensions I would need to fabricate one?
Thanks for all the help so far, I think I'll be happy with this radio when I've finished it up.
