Zenith 7s488 assistance request
#8

Thanks for your input John. I’ll follow through with your suggestions. 
After recapping, cleaning tube pins, variable capacitor, switches and contacts the bc band was working, along with the preset push buttons. When I went back to work on it the next day the radio had reverted to nonfunctional mode. 
I’m sending a picture of the chassis. It’s definitely crowded inside! Thanks again! - Rob Q.
