So I finally got all my new parts installed and I plugged it in. I don't have a variac so I used the 40 watt light bulb trick. I plugged it in and the bulb glowed bright for a few seconds and then settled down to a low glow. I left it like that for 20 min. and the plugged it in normal and It works! I feel relieved but I have an issue I cant figure out. I have been able to get stations when the tuning capacitor's plates are spread apart but as you turn the tuner and they mesh together I loose all signal. I cleaned the tuner and cannot see any thing that may be stuck in between the plates. Does anyone know if there is any electronic reason this may be occurring? Or do you think it is a dirty tuner issue? also I saw on a video where you can lightly sand between plates with 600 grit paper. do you guys recommend this? Thanks for all your help.
