I finally got the C25 cap and replaced it, of course it turned out not to be the problem with the oscillator    I have not yet soldered all the rivet joints or reflowed all solder joints but will get to that.  I still see 480 ohms between the rotor and ground on the gang tuning capacitor at the red dot on the schematic below. 

That does not make any sense to me, am I missing something?  I've isolated the tuning cap from the rest of the radio and still see the 480 ohms between ground (stator) and rotor.  I think I have to take the tuning cap out again and strip it down to see what's going on unless someone has some other thoughts on  it.
